There is a connection between Amenhotep IV (changed his name to Akenaten), anti-Semitism and ideology.
Amenhotep IV is given credit by Freud for being the first monotheist and the father of Jewish monotheism. This is my round-about-way of blaming someone other than the Jews for anti-Semitism.
Indeed, I suggest that the non-monotheistic way of seeing the world creates a mind that is infertile ground for anti-Semitism or other ideologies. Sub-Saharan Africa, India, Japan, Mongolia, much of China and traditional American tribes are cultures without monotheism. What they all seem to have in common is a view of the world as multi-causal, highly localized. They all focus on multi-causal explanations of life. The weather can be related to specific prayers, dances, fertility rites and tribal behavior. Crops, food supply and health can be related to bad behavior, disrespect for tradition, ignorance of customs, mistreatment of people or the environment. Specific rocks, hills, trees and mountains have significance in daily life. The one thing that none of these billion people have is anti-Semitism, Marxism, a monotheistic religion or any love of ideology.
There is a connection. In social thought we recognize that all thought, images, metaphors and concepts have a structure, a hierarchy. In the world created by Amenhotep IV there is one ultimate pinnacle of all institutions (monotheism). This model permits other forms of thought to converge on an ultimate pinnacle. Thus anti-Semites can see a single cause for all evil (Jews), Marxists can see a single cause for all evil (the bourgeois class) and monotheism has a single ultimate cause for good and evil (God, Allah).
Can we, who live in a monotheistic world, find a way to see the world without a single pinnacle?
Such a worldview is what many thinkers, from the earliest Charles Peirce to the most recent Isaiah Berlin, have been pushing us towards.
