It's hatred because Gage has redefined the 'Jewish question' in a manner that is meant to encourage the hatred of Jews. The original question is not primarily about 'influential positions' or a separation from "all humanity". You can dislike individuals if you wish, for these reasons, but these comments are unfairly directed at ALL Jews, and it's not the 'Jewish question'.

In broad, normal terms:

The Jewish question, also referred to as the Jewish problem, was a wide-ranging debate in 19th- and 20th-century Europe that pertained to the appropriate status and treatment of Jews. The debate, which was similar to other "national questions", dealt with the civil, legal, national, and political status of Jews as a minority within society, particularly in Europe during the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries.

His questions are listed as part of your own definition. LOL

From the wiki page you linked:

[John T.] Flynn says he does not question the truth of what I said at Des Moines,[21] but feels it was inadvisable to mention the Jewish problem. It is difficult for me to understand Flynn's attitude. He feels as strongly as I do that the Jews are among the major influences pushing this country toward war. He has said so frequently and he says so now. He is perfectly willing to talk about it among a small group of people in private.

.

In Nazi Germany, the term Jewish Question (in German: Judenfrage) referred to the belief that the existence of Jews in Germany posed a problem for the state. In 1933 two Nazi theorists, Johann von Leers and Achim Gercke, both proposed the idea that the Jewish Question could be solved by resettling Jews in Madagascar, or somewhere else in Africa or South America.

Maybe he should've included Madagascar resettlement as an option? Would that have satisfied you?

You shouldn't have to work this hard to cherry pick your favorite examples for an argument. I would agree that there are some interesting problems with some of the influential minorities (including MAGAtards) - and we're not so different in this regard - but my argument is that "the Jewish question" is not what's in Gage's Tweet.
