Why are they disliked so much? Has anyone ever tried to analyze it? Perhaps they should read the book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People"?

Most societies historically have hated the merchant class in Europe and Aisa from England to Japan. Jews have had little opportunity but to work as merchants having lost their land and wandering for survival. This is their curse.

Suggesting They read a book to win friends smacks of old fashion Jew baiting. What kind of friends do you run with?

European christians considered it sinful to be money lenders(bankers), and wouldn't do it. A viable economy can't operate without money lenders. Jews were allowed to be money lenders, but were then despised by christians. Go figure.
