    During the Jewish group’s ceremony, demonstrators waving anti-Semitic signs stepped in and violence broke out, and five people were arrested after the scuffle.

    An anti-discrimination police unit had to escort Israeli Ambassador Daniel Gazit away from the fracas.

    Argentina has the largest Jewish community in Latin America.

    The South American country has seen two deadly anti-Jewish terror strikes. A car bombing of a Jewish charities headquarters building here killed 85 and left 300 injured in 1994, while an attack on the Israeli embassy two years earlier killed 22 people and left 200 hurt.
