I'm not Jewish so I can't say I've experienced anything from their persepctive, but it seems to me not "so manay" (probably best to define what this phrase actually means) are anti-Jewish, just anti-everything except themselves. Plenty of people are being hated. Just a few *generalised* (I believe I can do this since the statement is a generalisation too) examples...

Americans and Japanese
English and Germans
Poles and Russians

Not all of these are two way and don't even get me started on whats going on in Africa and the 20-60 million slavs estimated to be killed by Stalin (before anyone brings up the Holocaust and numbers). Hatred exists everywhere and on every level.

As a final note, I know I'll probably get flamed for this, but I do think religion is a lot of time a good thing. As Marx said, it is the opium of the masses and helps keep them in line (sports, such as football (which I do love), is good version of this for the non-religious). Its either that or having people like Hitler harnessing the longing that people have to belong and using it for a more sinister purpose. Also, don't forget that these guys fighting in the name of religion are just a minority.
