I don't hate Jews, but then I'm not a good Christian.
Not modern Catholic dogma. We're past that.
Anyways, as for the OP's question: I've never heard it used as a serious insult. It's occasionally used as a fake-insult with people who we know are Jewish. By fake insult, I refer to the way that friends insult each other as a matter of familiarity, including cases where one of my Jewish friends has called another Jewish friend a Jew. I have never heard anyone use "Jew" as an actual insult, though.
If anything, I hear it more than anything get used as a "[blank] pride!" subject more than anything else. Of course, that may be because something like a third of my school is, in fact, Jewish, so it would make sense.
Honestly, between my everyday life and NS, I've probably heard 'Catholic' used as an insult more often than I've heard 'Jew' used as one.
