re: Why have so many disliked the Jews?

Because they were God's chosen people created to set an example for all peoples, but they failed miserably. As a result, God judged them and told them they would be hated and persecuted amongst the nations where they were scattered in exile. But in the last days, he would have mercy on them and bring them back into their own land. Those prophecies were fulfilled to the letter and are still unfolding today. As prophesied, they were brought back into the Land in unbelief, but, as also prophesied, they will someday turn to God and recognize Jesus as their Messiah (Yeshua HaMashiach).
