Tribal consciousness preceded and enabled antisemitism in the pan-movements.

Evidence

“Enlarged tribal consciousness” as the emotional motor of the pan-movements was fully developed before antisemitism became their central and centralizing issue. Pan-Slavism, with its longer and more respectable history of philosophic speculation and a more conspicuous political ineffectiveness, turned antisemitic only in the last decades of the nineteenth century; Schoenerer the Pan-German had already openly announced his hostility to state institutions when many Jews were still members of his party. In Germany, where the Stoecker movement had demonstrated the usefulness of anti-semitism as a political propaganda weapon, the Pan-German League started with a certain antisemitic tendency, but before 1918 it never went so far as to exclude Jews from membership. — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 605
