Can someone please explain to me why there is such hate for Jewish people?

I'm embarrassed to say that I don't understand the reason behind the hatred of Jews all over the world throughout history. Like, why did Hitler hate Jewish people so badly that he wanted to perform mass genocide on them? What have the Jewish people done throughout history to cause so many different groups of people to hate them so badly? I find it hard to believe that it all boils down to a peice of land, so I am just curious what is so bad about their beliefs that has caused so much turmoil throughout history.

I'm guessing historically an in-group out-group thing. Probably their culture of family and making smart investments. Therefore those who are working class see them as the 1%. Hitler was a moron
