Everyone doesn't hate Isreal. Many 3rd world countries are jealous of their success with so few natural resources and surrounded by poverty. The first answer is incorrect - leftists don't hate Isreal, in fact most American Jews are politically liberal.
Isrealis often perceived to have a chip on their shoulder, and rightfully so... they've been persecuted throughout history.

America really is Israel's only friend. We began supporting them in response to the USSR's support for the Arab countries back during the Cold War. They needed an Ally, and we needed a foothold in the region. Since then, we have generally supported trying to make peace with the Palestinians, but above all, we supported the survival of Israel. Since they are literally surrounded by countries who want the wiped off the map, and a hostile Palestinian population that wants the same thing, they often have to resort to military action to discourage violent actions against Israel. It hasn't worked as far as the Palestinians go, but the Arab countries haven't attacked Israel in decades. If Israel was a more peaceful (ie: complacent) nation, they would have been destroyed a long time ago.

God has cursed them for disobeying him centuries ago. so the hatred is GODs will.
It also may be because they are kind of standoffish and think they are better than everybody else. they do not like to intermarry and have a holier than thou attitude. that does not win a lot of friends. they consider uncircumcized people to be filty beasts and will not break bread with them
They were always traders and located in the middle of everything so it was impossible to trade with the world without going through them and they got a rep for being skinflints and cheap. people resented them as they had no resources but got rich anyway form the work of others by trading well.
They killed jesus, a rather popular figure in the west.
They compete with the moslem world for the territory in Jerusalem and each claims it to be their own holy place. so do the christians. so all three sort of spat over this turf.
The jews keep to themselves in America and other places and form power groups that give preferenec to other jews in business, etc, Hollywood is one good example. this pisses non-Jews off a little bit.
so... other than these few silly things, i cannot imagine why anyone would not like the Jews. they are very smart and funny and good busness men. They are good family people with high moral values. Just a little hard to take at times, that all.

it seems as if everyone is going against isreal because they are small,yet powerful,and they are protected by the leader of gods army. many years ago there was this man named abram. one day god spoke to abram and told him to leave the place where he stayed and follow god to another place that god had planned for abram to stay.when god saw that abram obeyed him he changed abram,s name to abraham. and not only did god give him a new name he gave him so many descendants that you would not be able to count them. god made a covenant with abraham god said that he would never leave the people of isreal. that is why when i pray i say,god of abraham,god of issac,and god of jacob.god say if you curse these names then you to will be curse.god also said if you bless these names you to will be bless. so yes there are against isreal because they are god first born.now keep in mind that this will go on until the times of the gentile has been fulfiled. isreal will be deceived at some point down the line,but then god will come down from heaven an fight the war for isreal so you do not have to worry.last but not least,i want you to know that if anyone mess with isreal god will hold the them responsible.

Israel is a small country and every neighbor around it hates it because it is powerful. It has to be strong to survive. Most of countries around it is inferior in intelligence and all they do is reproduce, which does not take a lot of brains. Israel does not have many supporters because they cant get much from it, like oil or other resources. Other countries overlook how great of a country it is.

Israel and the United States have a lot of things in common, which is why both are detested in the world ... notebly stomping into other people's countries without declaring war ... and in the case of Israel, not giving a damn about UN resolutions against them ... it is emphatically NOT being an anti semitist to criticise the actions of Israel ... just as it isn't being anti American to criticise the foreign (lack of) policy of the present administration in the US ...

people dont "hate" (hates a strong word) they dislike. the reason they dislike israel (well from my country) is because we see it that israel is taking land from the palestinians, building walls that seperate towns that were connected for decades, not listening to the UN. i have a friend who was palestinian and he lives in the states. he told me about how his dads car was run over by a tank (no one was inside). so thats why i kno some people dont like israel. reason US is on israels side? because a lot of people in high places in america are jewish (im not trying to be racist here). ok i know that most arabs dislike israel not because they're jewish (many other arab countries have jews living in them and they get along fine, Jordan). Many arab countries are still mad about what happened during the 6 day war. well egypts mad because they got the sinai peninsula stolen from them and the war humiliated them

Because Israel 'stole' Palestines' land a log ago! Now they claimed like it is theirs while Palestine had been deny to their own land! A lot of Jews from Israel in USA and they control US economy especially in the business. Thats why they protect Isreal.
In USA, if you rich just join politics!

It's called anti-semitism, or hatred of Jews. It's traditional in Europe, read any history.
