METHODOLOGY
A quantitative methodology was used, nationwide, according to the following criteria:
Sample
• Type of interviewees: people between 18 and 65 years of age, males and females, of BC or D socio-economical level.
• Geographical Coverage: Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires (AMBA), Rosario, Córdoba, Mendoza, Corrientes-Resistencia, Tucumán and Neuquén.
• Type of sample: Probabilistic and stratified by sex and age combined with a non-probabilistic by sex and age quotas.
• Size: 1510 cases.
• Sampling error: 2,6%
• Statistical significance: 95,5%
• Number of cases according to segmentation:
Location Sex Age
AMBA: 764 Women: 787 18 to 29: 532
Rosario: 201 Men: 723 30 to 49: 609
Córdoba: 201 50 to 65: 369
Mendoza: 110
Corrientes-Resistencia: 103

The fieldwork was done between October 8 and November 12, 2010.
The interviews were done face to face, individually, with a structured entry instrument and combining two methodologies for the selection of the interviewees:
1. For the probabilistic sample, we used the home interview by drawing lots for blocks and choosing homes at random (28% of the sample).
2. Since that methodology had better success probabilities in urban areas with predominance of middle/lower and lower class, the field survey was completed with a coincidental methodology applied in places with a higher concentration of population and maximum geographical dispersion (non-probabilistic sampling, 72% of the sample).

• At least half of the interviewees agree that the Jews -as a group- have the following features:
1.More loyal to Israel than to Argentina (52%)
2.Their main interests are doing well in business and earning money (82%)
3.Have too much power in the business world (68%)
4.Have too much power in the international financial markets (65%)

This depiction of the Jews indicates a certain
stigmatization , defining them as:
•Not very loyal to the country they live in
•Giving priority to doing good business
•With a higher economical power than expected
or desirable (too much power)
•With an ethnocentric discourse centered on
the Holocaust (they speak too much)

Violent acts against Jews are motivated
more by anti-Jewish sentiment than
negative attitudes towards Israel.

• 40% of the interviewees consider (with varying
degrees of responsibility) that the Jews are to
blame for the current economic world crisis.
• Although the responsibility for the world crisis
could be attributed to the countries or
international companies, coinciding with what we
have said, for every 4 out of 10 interviewees the
responsible individual is, in this case, the Jew.
