The reason the term "Jew Hatred" is being used is because there is a movement among a special group of haters (almost exclusively on the left) to try to redefine anti-Semitism as something other than bigotry against Jews. So, some have started using "antisemitism", as opposed to how I wrote it, and "Jew hatred" to completely sidestep the assholes trying to diminish hate against Jews by claiming we aren't "really" Semites. 
Something similar happened back in the late 80's and early 90's with "homophobia" because, again, some bigots, tried to claim people weren't really "afraid" of homosexuals, so a few academics tried floating the term "homo-hatred". It didn't take, overall, but it is still used in some spaces.
