      It is varied and complicated throughout history-

      1. Pre-Christian anti-Judaism in Ancient Greece and Rome which was primarily ethnic in nature

      2. Christian antisemitism in antiquity and the Middle Ages which was religious in nature and has extended into modern times

      3. Muslim antisemitism which was—at least in its classical form—nuanced, in that Jews were a protected class

      4. Political, social and economic antisemitism during the Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment Europe which laid the groundwork for racial antisemitism

      5. Racial antisemitism that arose in the 19th century and culminated in Nazism

      6. Contemporary antisemitism which has been labeled by some as the new antisemitism

      Christians have some historical antisemitism because the Jews were responsible for crucifying Jesus.

      Muslims i have less knowledge, but i know in modern times they hate the founding of Israel among other reasons pertaining to “conflicting sky daddy”

      Also for some other context, many practicing Jews kept traditions that made them stand out in the past. Leading to negative (and often false) stereotypes.

      Lastly, it doesn’t help that they proclaim themselves God’s chosen people in the eyes of outsiders.
