They are hated so much because they have such a huge chip on their shoulders and are so arrogant thinking that they are the chosen ones.

Historically, Jews were banned from most trades/professions except that of financing, so they ended up as loan sharks.
While this might explain part of why say some Europeans 'hate Jews', the behaviour of Israel nowadays is unrelated to the loan shark business.
I guess some people in the Middle East who hate them would hate them because Israel is a bully (see the invasion of Lebanon, the bullets against stones) who knows Big Brother will have its back. So the 'hate' can extend from that of Israel to that of Jews as a whole.

It's not Jews who prey on the poor it's normally their own kind. Go to any city or town in the UK and you'll probably discover loan sharks, on the whole, belong to the criminal element. You could also blame the government, in that, financial institutions target those in debt with the sole aim of repossessing their homes when, once again, they have financial problems.

no that is a stereotype from when they were forbidden to practice most trade and Christan's were forbidden from usury ( the practice of lending money for interest) . There is only one major Jewish owned bank and that is the Rothschild's bank ( although it is in different countries with different levels of ownership in each country). Normally loan sharking is conducted by the member of the ethnic group it lens too. as an ethical element of loan sharking is violence Jews are not normally associated with it.
I am not Jewish and I dint hate the Jews so your premise s flawed to start with, perhaps i is because your a bigot that you believe the Jews are hated

Nope, other way round. Jews gained the reputation of being loan sharks because finance was one of the few businesses open to them, given that in many states they were forbidden from entering other professions. So financier became a stereotype for the Jew, and because they were hated, due mostly to the blood-libel, this quickly evolved into 'dishonest/exploitative financier.

Huh? Did you forget your meds today, or take too many? Loan sharks are usually associated with organized crime, which is not dominated by Jews. Now go play in traffic!

No, most jews are not loan sharks, and most loan sharks are not jews.
People hate jews because they are insecure bigots and have to hate somebody .

It's silly to think anybody is better than anybody. And it's just
as silly to hate someone because they think that.
The only reason Jewish people have so much influence, is
because the world has persecuted them for millenium, forcing
them to be clanish. (Looking out for each others interests).
