    In Argentina sentimos muchísima simpatía por el heroico pueblo irlandés. Y queremos que vengan muchos más porque los necesitamos.

    We are about 1M Irish descendants in Argentina. I went to an Irish school in Argentina and my house was Munster. I had a thick Irish accent as a child and was taught the 32 counties as well as the lives of many Irish Saints. Saint Columba, Columban, Kirean and Brendan. My family came from Ireland right after the potato famine in 1851 and my grandfather was a Grandson of 4 Irish born Grandparents as many of them were from Meath, West Meath and Offaly. As noted in the video indeed the immigrants were quite well educated and all became very wealthy farmers in 10's of thousands of acres.

    Interesting stories, but really repulsive to hear, several times, the term "dirty war". The term was dismissed already during the Trial of the Juntas in 1985, when the court ruled there was no "war" and that the term was used by the Juntas to relativize the magnitude of their crimes by framing them in the fake context of a fake civil war.

    So how do you call the countless bombings killing over a thousand people, many civilians, executed by the montoneros and others left wing groups? If they had declared a war and fought it conventionally against the state, it would have been a war, but instead they decided to do terrorist attacks and, regrettably, the state responded to it in ways outside the law, hence it was a dirty war.

    In Spain and Portugal. Argentina Catholicism is known as New Christian or Jewish Jesuitical. It’s a result of the Spanish Inquisition. Lots of façade and mostly commercial contents. Despite being matriarcal.
