Anti-Semiticism

Why are the Jewish people so hated? I have long asked this question as well as have many Jewish commentaters. I am a firm supporter of Israel and Judaism, it is their land, the Kingdom of David. They took the desert and made it green and bountiful, they are educated prosperous and a negative mirror to those that hate them so. I am not an expert just one that has many Jewish friends and have spent just a little time studying the matter. Their hatred is ancient going back to Islam's founding and rise through the Crusades and the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Islamists fail to recognize a culture and religion that predates it by 3500 years. We are now seeing Islam's moral failings unfold on a world screen open for all to see, and what do see? We see violence, sectarian and otherwise, we see a die or accept Islam mantra, we see beheadings broadcast arond the world, we see state sponsored riots and mad mullahs preaching about the end of Israel. What are we to think of Islam? Does it act like a Religion of Peace? Is it because the mass of the Ummah could not accomplish what tiny Israel has?
