As a Jew myself, it's an interesting topic because Jewish people tend to have a biased, more negative view of non-Jews. This outlook on "goys", the Jewish term for non-Jews (tells you something that there is this term), tends to be more extreme concurrently with how strongly religious a Jewish person is. The orthodox are terrible about this, and it rubs a lot of people the wrong way. Even in the US, they live in their own communities and have a very negative opinion of non-Jews and even the less religious Jews like myself . Some of them would say I'm not even a Jew because I don't practice the orthodox rituals. It's a very elitist view of themselves. Heck, Jewish people refer to ourselves as "the chosen people". No one likes a person who views themselves as better than everyone. Couple that with some conspiracy theories - like that Jews control the world's financial system - and you'll get people who want to fight it.
One of my good friends from college grew up orthodox, and it totally messed with his mind when he got to college and found out that a lot of the negative things he was told about non-Jews as a kid was a lie. Growing up he only went to Jewish schools, shopped at Jewish owned businesses, and basically never interacted with a non-Jew for the first 18 years of his life. He almost acts like he was raised in a cult. But this is how it's done because in part they view themselves as a better breed of human than non-Jews (though again, this strong line of thinking is basically just among the orthodox). I have other stories as well... Or just look into the school board situation in Lakewood, NJ.
So it's very interesting to me how people hate Jews, but some Jews also completely look down upon other Jews as well. Likewise, the less religious Jews tend to really dislike the orthodox because of this. Negative feelings all around.
