Well... welcome to the feeling of being a minority then I guess? lol

I think that the right wing conspiracy theorists hate the Jews because it feeds into their theories about a government and the rich minority who want to control the general population.
For people that are on the right side of the political pendulum, their perception is that a bunch of wealthy Jews influence politicians at all levels of government. Then these right wing people see high level executives in Hollywood like these peeps:

When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish).
People who are right wing in their political views see Jews as a threat because their wealth and political influence in government, and their high positions in media and entertainment companies, can influence the minds, the decisions that the general population can make in their daily lives.
Decisions such as which political party to vote for. What kinds of media content, and entertainment content in TV and film that they watch. Then you have even more conspiracy theorists argue that these rich Jews put subliminal message in TV shows and films to influence people's lives for their own advantage.
For the right wing people, their argument can be "Where is the true freedom in your life when the rich Jews control the government and major entertainment and media outlets?" Hence, this group of right wingers have big beliefs which are anti-government and anti-Semitic.
