Why were / are Jewish people so disliked around the world? I have my on ideas but have not found any real consensus on just why that is.
E,
Israel is really no different from any other ethnic group. Tribes of families have fought each other around the planet since the beginning to this very day. Kind of a survival of the fittest thing. An animal viewpoint after the flesh, instead of seeing the soul of the matter.
The difference is that God has chosen Israel to bring salvation to the world of the human souls through Jesus and His Word.

The heart of the matter is who is God's people? Israel or someone else?
It used to be that men worshiped gods of stone and wood, the sun and moon, or the elements and landscapes. But in these modern times it has become evident, by the knowledge given to us by God/Jesus, that God is not found in those material things. He is spirit. But men believed that these hollow gods gave them miracles in war.
So now we have Islam claiming to be God's people. Their claim is disputed by the presence of Israel restored to Jerusalem in the fulfillment of Lk 21:20-24, 24. The restoration of Israel after the times of the gentiles (ToG's) trampling is ended.
And the claim of Islam that their god will give them victory over Israel is correct. Satan murderer of God's people will have victory over the flesh. But the victory of Israel is over the eternal spirit.
What it all comes down to, why Israel is hated by the world, is their claim to be God's chosen people.
Satan wants to be god, wants to be worshiped as god, but Israel will not worship him.
