Its mostly in Europe but I really don’t understand it.
It is true that during past economic problems in Europe, the Jewish people banded together to help each other.
It might be simple “They have more money”.

The Jewish people DO value Quality education more than others.

for any populist movement based on envy, they are the poster boy

Here’s the basic idea of his book, Why the Jews?

http://www.dennisprager.com/so-were-hated/

“There are basically two possible ways to look at anti-Semitism. One is that anti-Semites are essentially decent folks and Jews have usually been so bad that they have merited anti-Semitic hatred. The second is that the Jews have generally been a decent people who antagonized many of the morally worst people of their time and place.

Anti-Semites would, of course, choose the first explanation. Others would acknowledge that those who have hated the Jews have usually been the vilest of their generation. Whether Roman torturers, Crusaders who massacred Jewish communities on their way to the Holy Land, Nazis or Communists — they all hated Jews. The monsters of the 20th century, the Nazis, made Jew-hatred the centerpiece of their ideology. And the monsters of our young century, militant Muslims, have done the same.

Why have the Jews, always among the weakest and smallest of peoples, attracted the hatred of the most evil people? Because of what the Jews represented. The civility of the Jews’ lives and the values the Jews brought into the world — especially ethical monotheism, i.e., a standard of right and wrong based on a moral and judging God — made them loathsome in the eyes of those who led particularly uncivil lives and who celebrated moral chaos and cruelty.”

I think it's multifaceted.

Jewish people are different. Different religion, traditions, language, sometimes looks. To some people, that's too foreign and weird and intimidating.

They also have a heavy influence in their culture on education and making something of yourself. Those who don't want to bust their ass to become a success are the ones who become them resentful, hence the "tight Jew" jokes.

And third, Jews have always been persecuted, exiled, picked on .... and there are many among us who would gladly pile on to join in the persecution.

To sum up, human nature at its worst is what makes people "hate" the Jews. I get it, but I don't subscribe to it and never will.

Satan hates the Jews, because salvation came through the Jews. Yeshua was from the shoot of Jesse. Satan tried to stop God’s plan of salvation from the very beginning. Now that Satan has lost that war, he still wants to punish and murder the Jews.

Satan hates anything that is favored or loved by G_d and the Jews are his chosen people:

(God’s Word affirms that the Jews are God’s chosen people: “You are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession” (Deuteronomy 7:6).)

Stands too reason that the secular (Satan’s) world would hate the Jews, just as they hate Christians.

They are God’s CHOSEN PEOPLE!

They are not perfect, but they are CHOSEN.

Through their lineage, the Messiah came to snatch away from Lucifer everything he thought he owned.

Hatred for the Jews has its origin in the chief of the evil spirits.

Historically they were an easily identifiable, somewhat culturally insular minority; they were “the other,” so it was easy for people to project all their woes onto them. When things go wrong in life, nobody wants to admit to being the asshole, and if you have a ready made scapegoat available well then all you have to do is point the finger rather than work through your own issues. It’s why the “Palestinians” have been and continue to be such a mess. A analogous situation exists in certain parts of America re: the Hated White Male.

Like other posters have mentioned, the Jews are God’s chosen people. If Satan could get them annihilated, that would make God a liar (remember His promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) and the death of Jesus of no avail to humankind.

Dennis Prager--Why the Jews are so hated..

Dennis is usually pretty lucid, and he always promotes 'clarity' over all else.
He must have been having an off day.

The answer?
Simple. Success envy.

The details for which can take many paragraphs; but that's the gist of it.

Failures ALWAYS need a scapegoat. Communism fails because of America. Cuba sucks because of America. North Korea sucks because of America. The middle east sucks because of Jews and America. Before America, it was the Jews.

European hatred against Jews is jealousy - pure and simple. Jews are not afraid of work and dedication.

Muslims hate Jews because of Jewish laws - lineage is determined by the mother, Jews take care of their elderly, and Jews teach the 10 Commandments. Muslims HATE Jewish law.

Dennis Prager is himself Jewish, born in Flatbush, went to Hebrew schools. He's an uniquely-educated guy, Stanford, Columbia, Harriman University....and a good conservative.

He runs the "Prager University", a virtual institute of higher conservative learning. All the courses are five minutes, LOL, and are taught by well-known guest conservative brains.

Nobody likes bankers, but they are one of the key aspects of the capitalist economy.

Unfortunately Jews happened to become the natural bankers for Christians and Muslims for about 1,000 years because it was religiously forbidden to commit the sin of usury (charging interest on loans) and so only Jews had the incentive to loan money.

The Papacy made clear that making interest on loans was a heresy that warranted excommunication. Mohammed explicitly forbade it.

Unsurprisingly, all kinds of other stereotypes about Jews emerged from this period.

To add, the Torah apparently permits Jews to loan money with interest to Gentiles, but not to fellow Jews. So a disproportionate number of the Jewish diaspora eventually became urbanites centred on finance and specialized crafts.
