Is the intense, evil and irrational hatred of all Jews an indication that the root cause is satanically inspired? How else might it be explained? Do those who hate Jews have an even greater hatred for the most well-known Jew of all time, Jesus Christ? Why of why not?

Yeah, and Christians by extension (true ones, not cultural "christians").
Look at revelation and what it says about the dragon knocking down the 12 stars and about how it chases the woman with the baby.
All nations will go to war against Israel. And they will be put to shame.
Praise God!!!!
THen the Messiah, Jesus, will come and set up peace on earth.

If God is a god of love, then it must be the opposite being who promotes the opposite of love, so I would say yes - Satan plants hatred in people.
As for your second question - I don't think someone who hates Jews would hate Christ. Adolph Hitler hated Jews, but claimed that he was working FOR Christ and finishing Christ's supposed mission of doing away with the Jews.

No, I believe you should not blame Satan for human nature and human cruelty.
By saying that irrational hatred and violent deeds against Jews (or any other ethnic/ religious group) are satanically inspired you actually exempt people from their responsibility to their mind and acts.
Satan in this case would be a convenient scapegoat, nothing more.

Yes, after all satan is an accuser of the bretheren. I feel like it is inspired by him because of the ultimate, world renown Jew, Jesus Christ. Jesus said that the world would hate us(Christians) because it first hated Him. May God Bless

On November 23, 1937, Saudi Arabia's King Ibn Saud told British Colonel H.R.P. Dickson: "Our hatred for the Jews dates from God's condemnation of them for their persecution and rejection of Isa (Jesus) and their subsequent rejection of His chosen Prophet." He added "that for a Muslim to kill a Jew, or for him to be killed by a Jew ensures him an immediate entry into Heaven and into the august presence of God Almighty."
When Hitler introduced the Nuremberg racial laws in 1935, he received telegrams of congratulation from all corners of the Arab world. Later, during the war, one of his most ardent supporters was the Mufti of Jerusalem.
Jews were never permitted to live in Jordan. Civil Law No. 6, which governed the Jordanian-occupied West Bank, states explicitly: "Any man will be a Jordanian subject if he is not Jewish."
The Arab countries see to it that even young schoolchildren are taught to hate Jews. The Syrian Minister of Education wrote in 1968: "The hatred which we indoctrinate into the minds of our children from their birth is sacred."

Yes all hate is inspired of Satan. I am a Mormon and we believe that the Jews are God's covenant people and we should be working to bring the gospel of Jesus to them.

Yes, there is no other logical explanation and the Bible says things along those lines. Some say when they crucified Jesus and uttered the words, "His blood be on us and our children" that it invoked a curse. One thing is defiantly clear the Bible refers to persecution of the Israeli blood and their country having trouble up till the end of the age. It talks about the whole world being against them, that's not a comfortable place to be. I don't believe that God would persecute Israel or do harm to them like what is happening. It's so large that Satan has to be behind it.

I don't think it's satanically inspired. There are those who hate blacks, Mexicans, Jews, Muslims ... people hate because they are bigots, racists and idiots. It has nothing to do with Satan. His function is tempting souls with their passions and desires. Hatred and bigotry is of mankind and will remain a part of them until they seek a higher purpose.

Hate is not an opposite of Love but a lack of love. There is no lack of Love in the the Universe, so anybody lacking love blocks his/her awareness of Love; such people hate themselves and project it unto others. Hate does not stem from God, or Gods words.-- God is Love. Is hate satanically inspired? Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't but it is not inspired by God for sure.

No I have no doubt that Satan wasn't involved in any way shape or form. I think it's safe to say that antisemitism has more to do with people and communities that hate Jews than the Devil.
