2. A bit of a leap in my mind.

Because I hate the filthy rich means I could hate an entire religious sect? I understand the association of Jewish folks with the most hated professions.

But as an atheist, I dislike all religious sects equally. They are all superstitious and rediculus to me.

But just because I hate the filthy rich, and hope their stolen wealth get's taken away from them, doesn't mean I have a particular animosity towards Jewish folks.

It's really, really the filthy rich I despise. I think here in the US we worship money more than gods, so it is difficult for some folks who have internalized this social bias to believe people would really despise the filthy rich. To them it is almost heretical.
