The spiritual dimension is the strugle by Satan to destroy the nation of Israel which was promised by God to be the head of His Kingdom on earth.  There is no human explanation to this hatred that has its roots in the garden of Eden where God promised that thru the seed of Eve (the Messiah) He was to destroy Satan.
