it's all this AIPAC/IDF/etc propaganda. There are billboards out there like "HEY [CITY]! YOU'RE MURDERING JEWS YOU ANTISEMITIC BASTARDS!" -- not exactly those words but they're put up by some Zionist group and they're probably meant to scare local Jewish people into supporting Israel. Then you have like Times of Israel out there concern trolling about protests in the US or EU. The hate crime stats are up but it's probably partly because hate crimes are legitimately up with all this and partly because people are reporting someone writing "Free Palestine" as a hate crime. It's a full court press to melt peoples' brains.
I don't even know how much of it is because of recent propaganda. I'm in my late 30s and whenever Palestine came up in school (so the time between the Oslo Accords and the end of the Second Intifada) the gist they tried to convey was that Palestinians and indeed all Arabs were congenitally anti-Semitic, and that was the only cause of the conflict.

Yeah, it was always explained as a religious conflict in my upbringing
