There's evidence it was there before. In strong enough elements to attract German intelligence and military attention. I'm not quite sure hatred is something you can put on a scale, so I won't go into the 'greater or less than' debate; but it was there.

The fact that the Axis were in discussion with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, and other Arab elements in Egypt, Syria and present-day Lebanon prior to the first Battle of Alamein should suffice to hint at some anti-Jewish affections. Elements within the Egyptian population and Army were willing and ready to rise up against British rule in the event of the Alamein line being breached. The threat of mass uprisings and subsequent pogroms became so real that the 200 days between the battles were called "The 200 Days of Dread" by the local Jewish population.

The Abwehr dispatched members of the Brandenburg regiment/division as well as individual agents to establish contact with Muslim leadership and anti-British elements in the Middle-East; and went so far as to create a division made of Muslims from the Balkans and the Middle-East. These contacted elements probably viewed the rapidly approaching Germans as both liberators and allies in their vision to make a Pan-Arab, or at least a series of Arabic nations in the Middle-East. In reality, they would've been trading one colonial power for the other, but it was definitely something the Germans played up; and a threat that the local Jewish populations viewed as real.
