Abstract

"Ideology" is a fickle concept that does not always mean the same for different readers. In its simplest form, an ideology can be understood as a set of ideas that provide the basis for organized action, and in that sense, it has no negative connotation per se. Perhaps that´s why it its association with anti-semitism
has gone unnoticed, a situation in which it does presuppose a presence of intolerance towards the values of the Jewish communities, or at least towards those perceived associated with Jewish attitudes. Such is the interest of this article, designed to outline some extent and points of contact between the concepts
mentioned, trying to underline, in summary, the way they were expressed in Chile some years ago.
