Why has militant groups from Palistine and other areas hate israel so much? Is there any reasoning behind their hatred or is this just another crusade?

Palestine thinks that Israel is theirs and that Israel shouldn't exist.
Update!!!
What does Hamas believe and what are its goals?
Hamas combines Palestinian nationalism with Islamic fundamentalism. Its founding charter commits the group to the destruction of Israel, the replacement of the PA with an Islamist state on the West Bank and Gaza, and to raising "the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine." Its leaders have called suicide attacks the "F-16" of the Palestinian people. Hamas believes "peace talks will do no good," Rantisi said in April 2004. "We do not believe we can live with the enemy."

It's a cultural hatred that goes beyond religion. Personally I think they have a legitimate gripe. Israel was a country that was founded via UN mandate. It was a decision driven by guilt over the Holocaust. Palestinians were offered a portion of what is present-day Israel, but surrounding Muslim countries attacked. When Israel defeated them and the dust settled, Palestinians had become refugees in their own homeland.
The Jewish homeland propaganda is just a myth. I don't care if Jews lived there at one point hundreds or thousands of years ago. That gives them no claim to it today. Further more, I vehemently oppose using Biblical myth to drive international justification for the existence of Israel. But that's water under the bridge.
Unfortunately Palestinians have no desire to compromise. They could have alleviated a great deal of suffering if they had met in the middle decades ago. Israel has screwed up the peace process plenty of times themselves so they are anything but innocent victims (as a state, not individually).
Palestinians have also shown the world that many of them are violent murderers by killing civilians on the streets. That kind of behavior is unacceptable. Have they never heard of Gandhi for god's sake?
I am also opposed to the US's unquestioning, uncritical and unilateral support of Israel. Although the country wouldn't exist without our support it seems at times that the tail wags the dog.

Why do the Israelis hate the Nazis? Maybe they don't, maybe some people in Hamas don't hate Israel, they just want to live life in their own country without being treated like dirt on a daily and systematic basis. I can tell from your question that you do not know much about the Palestinian struggle, you might read Jimmy Carter's latest book for a start. I don't necessarily think he went far enough with it but he lays out the basic facts.

Israel is seen as a Jewish State created and forced on the Middle East by the US after WW2 on what was previously British Palestine.

The world has revulsion for the israelis because of the way they treat others! They treat others just as they treat the Palestinians! There is no valid reason for the israelis to treat the Palestinians in this manner! The insane jews will only bring more problems for themselves by continuing to do so!
