When was the last time you were over and where did you stay Pylon? We've stayed in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Bet Herut moshav mostly so have experienced a wide variety of the country. We've gone to concerts, weddings, museums, and experienced none of the hatred you speak of. The "in-laws" even took us to a popular restaurant they heard about in Haifa that happened to be Palestinian. No one recoiled in disgust.
From what I saw, most Israelis hate the Hats(hardline ultra orthodox Jews) as much as they hate Hamas and their ilk.

Any time you get into the mind of a group of people and decide the way they all think, you are generalizing. It's pretty simple.
I'm sure there are a lot of Israelis who hate Arabs. They are in the middle of an ethnic war. There are plenty of Palestinians who make some pretty hateful comments about Israelis and Jews too.
That being said, I'm also sure there are plenty of people on both sides who've had enough.
