I would argue a major source of hate and violence in general IS the state itself (or more accurately the state and capitalism and patriarchy etc all interplaying and overlapping). Antisemitism is a great example of this: Jewish people prior to the Holocaust were THE primary scapegoat used by the bourgeoisie for 'why everything sucks'. You see for all of history where hierarchical societies have dominated (including Capitalism and Feudalism before it, as well as other systems) the opressed and exploited class has had things... bad, suffice to say, and in order to maintain their power and prevent the oppressed class form revolting the ruling class needed to justify their position. They have had various ways of doing this throughout history (claiming 'divine authority' for example) and a major way that they have done this has been through scapegoats! The argument goes smth along the lines of "oh your life sucks [because we exploit you], well that's because the Jews are making your life suck! Not us, your feudal lord who looks out for you, its the Jews whom you should hate." The reason people blame Jews for all wars is because there are wars, and the people starting the wars don't want you to blame them for starting the wars so they use propaganda to convince people to blame the Jews on war. Therefore in an anarchist society where things will be much better, people will have no reason to hate Jews (or any other group) and there will be no one trying to convince you to hate Jews, so nobody will hate Jews. Or at least barely any people will, there likely will remain tiny percentages of the population who fear the unknown and the different, but they won't have the strong charge behind their predjudice that we see with bigots today, so it won't really be a problem, plus we're not trying to build a utopia with Anarchism, we're trying to crete a better world
