Is Orthodox Judaism anti-semitic? According to mainstream Orthodox Judaism, everything bad that ever happens to the Jewish people is because God is punishing them for their sins. That means that ultimately, Jews deserve being kicked out of every country they go to, and being killed en masse in things like the holocaust. When will this horrible ideology of hate be stamped out?

Eh, it's complicated.
The idea is that the faith was brewed in a time when it was more emotionally freeing to create a sense of agency where horrible events were a deserved judgement for not fulfilling an impossible contract than to understand that they were being chewed up by a vast universe that didn't particularly notice their significance.

It's not kind, but it let them think that they were the masters of their fate instead of a tiny nation state camped out between several large empires that ran them over every few years.
