Antisemitism is different than eugenics in fact, if not in spirit. Eugenics is the conceit that elites amongst the population should pick the winners of this generation in order to 'improve' the next. Antisemitism is saying that there's something in the nature of Jewish people that is bad for society in general.

One is about picking winners; the other is an opinion on how to pick them.



Except picking winners often breaks down to "acceptable" races and ethnicities vs the unacceptable ones. In this case the Jews were unacceptable.
