Anti-Semitism stems from a broad psychological structure, not from specific ideological content.

Evidence

There would hardly have been a more convincing way of rounding off what was important hereproof that anti-Semitism did not appear in persons with otherwise irrelevant views and psychological structures; that it did not even appear in everyone who had been exposed to the same objective situation and the same external influences. Instead, it was part of a general attitude affecting not just Jews, and not even just minorities in general, but rather mankind as a whole, history, society and nature. This general attitude was rooted in a specific psychological structure. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 439
