I don't know if he hated the Jews, because he had some close Jewish friends, but his public persona had some very antisemitic themes going for it. It wasn't uncommon in the 19th century in Germany, and a lot of Europe for that matter, and some of those themes are even suggesting at being present in his works. But, whether he actually was antisemitic with a few Jewish friends or whether he put on a facade to keep his popularity, hard to say.
