There are also some factions that are upset that the US government so vociferously supports Israel, both financially, militarily and politically. They seem to feel that the Israeli government has undue sway over the US government. These people tend to be extreme left-wing morons.

Anti Semitism goes back to the founding days of Christianity, it is literally a family feud, I suppose because when Christianity was an insignificant Jewish sect it was opposed by the orthodox Jewish church, once it got the upper hand it was bitter and possibly concerned it would be associated with the much weaker Jewish faith, like a kid that hates their father.
The result of this was to set up the Jews for a millenia of exile through out Europe under pretty much universal conditions where they were forbidden to own property and thus couldn't persue regular trades or occupations, this coupled with the ban on Christians lending money (the sin of usury) left Jews with the role of money lender, they had little choice in truth.
Of course no one likes their bank and so the Jews were resented but neccersary, but it was too easy to just whip up public sentiment against the 'Christ killers' and drive them out of a country in order to clear debts.
2000 years later Jews are still basically resented for the same reason even though they no longer fulfill the same role in society, but it is this money lending history from medieval times that still feeds the Jewish conspiracy, elders of zion crap that the dim and unsuccessful feed on today.
