You think that, but it isn't. They only hate general Christianity. A few hardcore atheists might even be critical of Islam. You'll never hear a word about Buddhism or Shintoism or Hinduism.
But Judaism? You barely even hear about what it is, only that someone is one. And the moment the word comes up, it shuts down everything. So to hear them actually criticize a group of them is a rarity.
It has been my observation that secular Jews one of the biggest enemies of practicing Jews. They WANT their identity to be racial without the trappings of something tacky like 'faith' and 'standards'.
This is true, and it has a long history. The insult 'kike' for Jews came from German Jews for Eastern European Jews fleeing pogroms, as they had contempt for these people who could not even write their own name and therefore signed with a circle (kyklos in Greek). They were religious, so they thought an X would be blasphemous.
I won't doubt that at all. But its not a widely discussed attack. Likely because they know that "attacking Jews" is never a look they can openly get away with.
That's what makes this one so unique. Being open about it.
It's probably just general hatred of religion. It's a common theme in this authoritarian takeover.
