There is no easy answer for Hitler. There was this really nice guy and there was this psychopath.
It would be safe, I think, to say that Hitler was a misanthropist and that he disliked everyone. The Jews were a place where he started, although there were parts of Germany where he cultivated their votes.
If you want a reason for him hating Jews, he blamed them for the defeat in the 1914 -18 war, for the Treaty of Versailles, the great Inflation, the Great Depression, France, Great Britain, capitalism.. the list goes on.
Remember that Hitler and his people also murdered homosexuals, disabled, non whites, communist, socialists, anyone who criticized him, Poles, Russians,... he had plans to kill others later.

He didn't really hate them, they were just a scapegoat that was universally disliked around the world. He could persecute them and call them the faceless enemy that all could blame their problems on. Throughout history mankind has needed scapegoats.
