What Causes Anti-Semitism?

I have sought for many years to understand the deep hatred for the Jewish people and their miniscule country, Israel, with few results until recently. It is pure jealousy over what this tiny contingent of people has managed to accomplish where so many others have failed miserably. There are many other reasons and most of them gross lies and morally bankrupt propoganda from very sick,depraved people.
Michael Medved, one of my favorite radio talkers, has written a must read article that seeks to debunk the basis for those myths and lies and offers more insight into my long asked question. Why the Jews?
I had many Jewish friends growing up and enjoyed traditional Jewish ceders(sp?) more than once, perhaps why I turn to the Torah before the Gospels when seeking the Lord's advice even as a deep Christian. by no means am I a literalist. The Old Testament is the written history of the Jewish people and their testament to our mutual Creator and put in place a system of laws for a civil society to prosper out of chaos. Their geneological history is astounding in its depth and breadth as is their painstaking attention to historical detail. Why the Jews?
Perhaps as the world's parents and teachers the naturally immature act of rebellion against the moral template for the world set forth is Moseanic Law is the cause. That does not explain the Muslims, beyond pure jealousy, as sha'ria law is based in Moseanic law which was very, very harsh. Laws designed out of the very roots of civilzation and its earliest forms, we modern humans can only imagine their life by actually making a life in the desert with nothing but the desert and the sea to provide you life. Any student of human history would have to acknowledge this feat and fact. Just as any student of Middle Eastern history has to acknowledge who Mohammed actually was, a crazed pirate, a raping ,pillaging thief. That is why his adherents are what we are fighting today, evil in the name of God. The Jews are God's chosen ones for a reason. I guess this is my problem in finding a church, I stand somewhere between Rome and Jerusalem, the view is great but the stance precarious so I climb on and place protection where I can.
If you don't climb, ask, why the Jews?
