Like they haven't done anything to anyone... literally, throughout history, Jews always drew the short straw.

Very incorrect. The persecution of Christians by Jews was pretty nasty. Just read the speech by St. Steven before the Jews stoned him to death and it's quite clear that early Christians were being rounded up by Jews quite a bit.

So, most of the Jew hate was generally done as a backlash to how nasty the Jews were to Christians when they were getting started. And, as it stands, Christianity became the prevailing religion (mostly due to some Christian Roman Emperors decreeing as such) so this was pretty bad for the Jews who had been keeping them down. Even early Roman Emperors seemed to put forth some anti-Jew legislature so they kind of pissed off the wrong people.

Of course, this all stemmed to hundreds of years and shit and hatred until it's where we are today.

I guess it's because Hitler made them look like an easy target.

Was partly political since he blamed the "Jews in charge" that resulted in Germany's loss in WWI. It's all propaganda but it was a way for him to divert blame and get support for the Third Reich. I'm not even sure that was really about religion since he seemed to dislike all religions and there's some items written that Hitler was planning on purging Christianity in the same way after the war.

-I personally have nothing against them. They did kill the lord and savior though.
-...that was the Romans, Jesus was Jewish.

The country it took place was the Roman Empire but the Empire at the time allowed multiple religions and cultures for the various areas it ruled over...this includes Judaism and their own pagan religion with multiple gods. If a country or state had Jewish leadership, they were allowed to rule their area as long as they paid tribute to the Empire.

So, yes, it was the Roman Empire in charge but it was clearly Jewish leadership who took issue with Jesus in Jerusalem. They've looked at clippings from Roman times and it's believed there were small reports of uprising in Jerusalem but nothing specific and there's no evidence Emperor Nero had anything to do with Jesus's death.

I said the jews get more noticeably persecuted because they've been in like every single european and middle eastern country throughout the millennia

They get better press as well and other groups don't have an example of the UN just stealing land for an entire ethnicity and handing it to them. They promised the same thing to the Kurds and didn't deliver it...had they done so would there be just as much hate for the new Kurd Country as there is for Israel? Debateable.
