    Marisa Braylan, the report's author and the director of the Center for Social Studies at the main umbrella group of Argentine Jewry, attributed the increase to Israel's war last summer with Hezbollah, which caused a spike in anti-Semitic graffiti. Despite the overall jump, Braylan said Jews still fared better than most other Argentine minorities. [jta]

    Anon. 9:17AM. Exactly your point. A Third incident (in addition to the Two cited by you, would constitute a rise of 50% in anti-Semitic incidents
    in Argentina. Yo viengo del pays cerca de Argentina. Let’s not be naive. A country saturated by nAZIS, whose escape was facilitated by prominent (world-encompassing) institutions, does not experience only two incidents in distant locations in one year.
