First of all, I don't dislike Jews in the slightest. I have Jewish friends, I've met Holocaust survivors, they are human beings just like Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Atheists etc. People who hate Jews are usually small-minded, uneducated or brainwashed.
I have thought about this a lot though and talked to other people about why it may be, because Jews have been hated and persecuted pretty much since the dawn of Judaism.
I think that one of the reasons is that Jews see themselves as the "chosen people", superior to other religions (although don't all religions in a way?). Anyone who goes around claiming to be "chosen" by a higher power is going to have problems being accepted by the people they claim to be superior to. Especially since their God seems a bit unstable (I'm not trying to dis the religion or anything but there's a whole book in the OT about the "crimes" that are punishable by death).
The Jews killed Jesus, that's obviously a major thing.
There are also financial reasons - in Germany in the late 20s, early 30s, there were huge economic problems, unemployment was sky-high, there was a lot of poverty, and the Jews were doing well financially. This caused a lot of resentment for non-Jews, who at the same time were having it drummed into their heads that Jews were evil and the root of all their problems.
Another major point during the Holocaust was that Jews were seen as an inferior race. If people stopped to think they would realise that Judaism is a religion, not a race, so Jewish people cannot be racially inferior to anybody else.
These are just some of the points. Of course, they don't justify any hatred or persecution of Jewish people, but are just meant as a rough idea of why this might occur.

Because of their treatment towards palestinians. It is not uncommon to hear Jews whine and complain about the holocaust however the way the Jews are treating the palestinians right now is no different.
