Antisemitism alone cannot explain or produce genocide.
Evidence
There are unwanted strangers in any society, and in any society there are some people who wish such strangers not to be there; but in no society can a genocide of the unwanted strangers take place. The presence of a quantity of Jew-haters is not the only, not even the necessary, and certainly not a sufficient condition which needs to be met to make that genocide a possibility. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 455
