Abstract: The aim of this article is two-fold: to examine the effect of economic antisemitism on consumers’ intention to boycott Israeli-made products, and to provide evidence of the correlation between economic antisemitism, ethnocentric tendencies and personal norms. It proposes a theoretical framework that integrates negative emotions as antecedents of attitude and intentional behaviour. A conceptual model was developed and tested on a sample of 305 French consumers. Results indicate that intrinsic antisemitic sentiments are strongly related to most boycott motivation factors: economic antisemitism, personal norms, and ethnocentrism. Some consumer profiles are identified, alongside a discussion of theoretical and practical contributions.
