If the Jews were God's chosen people, then the unchosen would naturally resent it and begin to hate the people who were chosen.

I always thought it was the devil prompting hatred towards the Jews.
I think.a people who.sucessfully hold themselves apart in foreign lands for two.thousand years do not do it through tolerant multiculturalism. They do not tell their children, “The ways of the Other are not our ways, but they are equally valid and worthy of respect.”
If people thought they actually were God’s children people, they’d be going against God to resent it.
But if they think they aren’t God’s chosen people, then indeed one could imagine some resentment against what they saw as baseless claims.
