They are blamed for killing Jesus.
They were allowed to be money changers when Christians were not.
They are God's "chosen people", which rubs some people the wrong way.
Jews took back Israel and sit surrounded by enemies, mostly Muslim.
Jews make people envious and jealous because they're associated with well-paid professions and big business.
Jews lead a different lifestyle that tends to cloister them away from others.
Whether fact or prejudice, these are among the reasons for much of the persecution of Jews.

I saw this NAZI propaganda video explaining why jews were evil or whatever.
The jist of it was that jews didn't do manual labor. They always did their best to get, what we would call today, "white collar" jobs: bankers, or clerks, etc.
I couldn't help noticing that everything they said about jews (in the propaganda video) also described modern Americans equally well.
So...in the end, the only reason that I can come up with why modern people hate jews is that their religions tell them to hate jews.
It has become a cultural staple of western society to hate the jews. The sad part is, no one really notices and the trend continues generation after generation...
BTW: I'm Puerto Rican, not a jew (just incase anyone was wondering).

I don't hate Jews. Those people are just jealous that they're God's chosen people and that they've got brains. The Jewish nation didn't crucify Jesus, it was just a group of non-believers and the Romans, obviously. The Pharisees did it out of jealousy and similar groups.

Jews are, for the most part, intelligent, educated, interesting people.
Those types of people are usually greeted with scorn by others who are not those things.

It is called religious indoctrination. The christians hate the jews cause they killed christ (yeah right), the muslims hate the jews cause they took their land back, and well some of them just hate everybody who isn't a muslim.

any excuse people use against the Jews is also against God.
Israel is the apple of God's eye.
Look it up, its in the Bible.
