I never quite understood the Jewish hatred. I mean, it's true that the Jews have gotten the raw end many times throughout history... but why the idea that they are the center of bad things ?

Hatred of any Nationality, Ethnic or Religious Group as a whole is wrong. Yes we can Hate what certain Nations do, or rather their Governments do, but that is not the whole Nation, we can hate the evil done by some religious people, or some people of certain origins, but again to condemn all people who fall in that category is supremely ignorant and wrong.
The Jewish people were a natural target over the Centuries for a number of spurious reasons, not for any valid ones. To perpetuate that, and similar ignorant hatreds, is to not learn from History, and to be, as Simon says earlier, " A Racist Retard".

The Jews killed Jesus. That’s what some people assert so they should be hated.

Different garb and appearance. Didnt move the sabbath day. 😁runs the successful pawn. Actually most I have known were indistinguishable from any one else in actions. Maybe the yarmulke.

Cognitive Dissonance. Any oppressed person, group, or race are supposed to fail. When they succeed despite being put down it infuriates the general population. Same reason people hate hutterites in the farming community. They choose to be different and they are extremely successful in their endeavours.

Jewish religion is extremely economically conservative which means they have been very, very successful wherever they apply these ideas. This makes them an easy target by those that aren’t successful, you can just point and say: look, they are rich while you are poor, they must be taking from you.
This idea has been at the root of every revolution, from the Middle Ages to the French Revolution to the communist revolutions to Nazism, its always, you did nothing wrong, the rich did wrong, and we must take it from them. And Jews by virtue of their ideology are commonly found in the most educated and wealthy portions of any society, thus the anti-semitic pattern is easily matched.
This is also what happened in Israel. The Jews in the 1700s and 1800s started applying some of the industrialization from the West in the Middle East and in about a century they converted desert to farmland. This made their neighbors envious, and the British who were then in charge, took the area as a protectorate (food production in the Middle East was a key to military supply which supported their rule in food-poor but spice-rich and mineral-rich India, Africa and China). The rest, as they say, is history, point your poor desert dwelling at the Jews and look, they have farms and you are hungry, they must be taking your land, mix in some religion to justify and you have people telling us now we need to protect terrorists because Jews are too successful.
Most philosophers would agree that the Jewish religion is one of the most refined religions in that it has exorcised most of the weird stuff and distilled most of the best stuff which shaped the western ideology and as a result, what we now know as capitalism which has enriched everyone on earth.

Sounds familiar.
