Considering what the Poles had been doing to ethnic Germans in the Danzig corridor, that hate was earned. That, and centuries of war between Germanic and Slavic people.

Hitler didnt hold grudges against people for years of warfare. If that were the case, he wouldn't have had a fondness for turks or Arabs (which he undoubtedly did, even being at least partly inspired by ataturk), because if there's anyone that had been at war with all of Europe for not just centuries, but over 1000 years, it was the turks and Arabs, but hitler was amicable with both.
The truth is, he was fine with most slavs in general, plenty of slavs joined the wehrmacht and waffen SS and served with distinction, plenty of white emigres helped the germans, etc. He did not like the Poles though, but not for any racial reason, rather just because of geopolitical issues involving Prussia and the Danzig problem. If piłsduski had lived for long enough, that whole debacle would have been settled and probably never would have happened. Poland would have possibly even been a German ally. But Piłsduski died, and the people after him were inept anti-german morons that couldn't hold a stable government worth a fuck, and got themselves invaded by the germans and the soviets because they managed to incessantly piss both parties off.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
This isn't just a few years, I'm talking about a rivalry that goes back to the 14th century. It's like the Central European version of how the English and French hate each other.
I am aware. It's still not something that hitler wasted time holding grudges over, because Hitler wanted to liberate every part of Europe with the inclusion of Poland. The French and Germany also had a very, very long history of animosity towards each other, but hitler did not dislike France like he did Poland. Poland's abysmal antebellum leadership, its stupid actions, and the polish people's tolerance of it were what caused hitler to dislike Poland. Not a history of conflict. Hitler had fairly cordial relations with Piłsudski, though Piłsudski had cold feet about joining an alliance with germany, which was actually understandable. Joining in a military alliance with a nation that was, at that point, still very weak, to invade the strongest nation in europe, would seem like suicide in his perspective. It's likely that, had Piłsudski lived longer, they would have ended up in germanys camp. But instead, he died, and the interrum government started wantonly murdering germans for literally no reason and acting with reckless abandon.
