Well… there certainly is hatred by Jewish people (who are, after all, people), but there are no official “movements” to that effect. Even the vaunted settlers that people keep talking about are generally defensive, not offensive - they do not attack West Bank villages with mortars in revenge for the almost constant attacks on their own homes. Of course there are exceptions, but restraint is constantly preached. I will mention one sect, called the Neturei Karta - an extremist and very small group that believes that Jews have no right to be in the Holy Land until the Messiah arrives. They do have some shady dealings, but the only people they target, ironically, are Jews.
Part of our lack of violence has to do with our religion - unlike Christianity and Islam, Judaism has no concept of “holy war”. There is absolutely no commandment worth killing over, and only three major commandments worth dying over. Self-defense is the one and only reason any Jew has a right to kill anyone else. The basis for that is so strong that no one has managed to corrupt it and claim that there are exceptions, like what happened in the Crusades or the current suicide bombers.
Another part of it is that up until recently, Jews have stayed remarkably faithful to the original text of the Bible. Whereas both Christianity and Islam added to the Old Testament, we believe that no one has the right to do something like that, so it’s impossible for someone to come and say “well, the Torah’s wrong when it says you can’t kill people.”
As for hatred for Jews… There have been books upon books written about anti-Semitism. There are three major ideas behind it that seem to be popular. The first is Jews as scapegoats - because Jews generally didn’t fight back (we were scholars, not warriors) we were seen as easy targets. Perfect for people to blame things on.
The second major idea is simple jealousy. Looking at the statistics, Jews far outweigh other races as far as success goes - I believe about 30% of Nobel Prizes were won by Jews - who make up about 0.1% of the world population. Jews have always been “over-represented” in universities and in big businesses. That sparks the whole “Jews rule the world” crap that these morons spew.
The third is a bit deeper but makes a good deal more psychological sense. It’s this: The basic tenet of the Jewish religion is right over might. The idea that you can’t do everything you want, because there’s a God that will punish you if you do - though not in this world. In other words, morality and the idea that you can’t beat up on people for the heck of it. People like Hitler hated that. It went against his whole idea of “might makes right”, so he vowed to destroy it. I’m not making this up - we had a speaker at our synagogue who had done a study of Mein Kampf and had come to this conclusion.
I will say one last thing, too. There’s a backlash against anti-anti-Semitism - basically people who claim that Jews are overusing the Holocaust as a giant guilt trip and that there are many nations who suffered. That’s true - but anti-Semitism is built into the very nature of humans, since the dawn of time. It’s hard for people to imagine regular people like them, who have houses and families, going out and murdering hundreds of innocent people. But that’s EXACTLY what happened in Germany in the 1940’s. We’re not any more civilized now than we were then. The “civilized” Canada is famous for claiming that “one Jew is too many.” If it happened then, it can just as easily happen now. That’s why we are perhaps overzealous in protecting ourselves - because everyone else forgets.
The constant demonization of Israel is already leading to a rise in anti-Semitism and an association of Israelis with evil. All people need is an excuse. That’s why we want to make sure we don’t give it to them.
Sorry for waffling on so long. ^^;
