A report in todays Jerusalem Post stated that 37% of Israelis consider the Chareidim the most hated group in Israel, [according to a new study conducted ahead of the memorial day for the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin by the Gesher organization.]
Some 15% said the same of new immigrants from countries of the former Soviet Union, while about 13% said that settlers in the West Bank and the former Gaza Strip settlements were the most hated.
The respondents were asked to say who they believed to be hated, not whom they personally hated. The numbers therefore reflect not only the opinions of Israelis who dislike certain groups, but also those of Israelis who feel disliked.

So this report doesn’t actually say who is hated the most, just who everyone BELIEVES is hated the most. Granted, I believe it too, but that’s an important distinction.
