I’m happy to go with Oxford: “intense dislike”.

My point isn’t all that abstruse.

I am saying that I doubt that there are many people who feel hate and then look for someone to hate and reasons to justify that hatred.

I think that in most cases, including Zionists, the reasons come first and lead to the hatred.

I think that, if the Palestinians had quietly and uncomplainingly dropped dead, or at least moved to Yemen, the Zionists would not hate them.

I base this position on the evidence available to me.
