There's still a lot of such incitement to this very day. Take a look at this link (from an Israeli embassy), for example. In such incitement, they very often don't distinguish between Israel and Jews.

I just mean "neighbour" in a geographic sense. I don't mean in terms of good relations or lack thereof.

BTW I am mostly talking about North Africans, since my experience with muslims in Europe resumes to them. I don't know about Turkish in Austria. (I only went to Vienna once and to do tourist things)
So, tell me: which are those neighbourhoods?

You mean this propaganda, when you live in Paris, you know that this propaganda.

Like how "Molboro" (street vendors selling fake cigarettes in Barbes) become "Homo" (insult).
Like how by walking randomly you can be just inside some of worst housing estates of the city where any "outsiders" (no matter if he jewish or not) would be badly welcomed by local drugs dealers.
Expacially somone with visible bodyguards.

A journalist has walked with a kippa in Paris and other French citioes for hours and did not have a single reaction negative.

I'm very surprised about this. It sounds so out of reality. The reason why many Argentine Jews migrate to Israel is economic. Nothing to do with anti-Semitism. It's the same reason why other Argentines migrate elsewhere.

BTW, as another poster said, Argentina and SOuth America in general has always been a haven for Jews escaping WWII. Even though there have also been some Nazi criminals fleeing to South America, I'm almost completely sure there have been way many more Jews than Nazis coming here.

Possibly also to escape the crime that has, from what I understand, skyrocketed in Argentina since the 2001-02 crisis?

That could also be the reason, but that crime was common street crime, unrelated to anti-semitism.

BTW, street crime skyrocketed DURING the 2001-2002 crisis, and then went down to "normal" levels. It has probably increased lately though.

Perhaps it's hard for you because you don't live in South America and only see what the media shows of Latin America, which is mostly the bad things.

Yeah, I know. Common street crime (plus carjackings and home invasions) is exactly what I mean here.
