Here's what Jewish philosopher Baruch Spinoza wrote in 1670 about Jewish hate for the Goyim. Today, Jews praise him and use him as an example of the so-called "Jewish genius". In real time though, like any Jew who dared to tell the truth, he was excommunicated by Jewish society.

Jewish xenophobia started long before the Talmud: An account by Greek historian Diodorus Siculus, written around 30-50 BCE, describes events that took place a century earlier, when Antiochus VII Sidetes, who was then the ruler of the Hellenistic Empire (not the allegedly "evil" Antiochus from the Book of Maccabees) was besieging Jerusalem, then under Jewish Hasmonean rule. According to Diodorus, Antiochus VII's advisors urged him to "root out the whole Nation of the Jews; For that they only of all People, hated to Converse with any of another Nation, and treated them all as Enemies". They also said that the Jews had "made strange Laws, and quite different from other People: Never will Eat or Drink with any of another Nation, or wish them any prosperity" and spoke of the Jews' "sacred books, whereby they were taught to hate all other Nations". Despite the advice he allegedly received, Antiochus VII allowed a seven-day truce during the siege for the Jews to celebrate a religious festival, eventually reached some settlement with the Hasmonean Kingdom, and was supportive of Jews, to the point that they titled him "the Benefactor".
