But that "sanctified us" (kidshanu) can also be read as "separated us":
So a core principle of Judaism is separation from other people. This is literally what it means to be holy.
In other words, holiness is a rejection of all other people. This inevitably leads to hostility against the Jews, which further increases the separation in a feedback loop.
So my argument here is that Judaism itself creates antisemitism, which in turn helps to maintain Judaism. Without antisemitism, Jews would assimilate and no longer be Jews. So it is in the interest of Judaism to create some degree of antisemitism.
