How did the Jewish people feel about the Samaritans?
Samaritans originally were Israelites of the Northern Kingdom (2 Kings 17:29). After the 721 B.C. exile, a "remnant of Israel" remained in the land. Assyrian captives from distant places also settled there (2 Kings 17:24). This led to the intermarriage of some, though not all, Jews with Gentiles and to widespread worship of foreign gods. By the time the Jews returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple and the walls of Jerusalem, Ezra and Nehemiah refused to let the Samaritans share in the experience (Ezra 4:1-3; Neh. 4:7). The old antagonism between Israel to the north and Judah to the south intensified the quarrel. In the days of Jesus, the relationship between the Jews and the Samaritans was greatly strained (Luke 9:52-54; 10:25-37; 17:11-19; John 8:48). The animosity was so great that the Jews went an extra distance through the barren land of Perea on the eastern side of the Jordan to avoid going through Samaria.

Are Gentiles and Samaritans the same thing?
The gentiles were any people that were not Israelites. So anyone that was not from the nation of Israel was considered a gentile. The Samaritans on the other hand were a people resulting from the intermixing of Israelites and Canaanites. During the Assyrian captivity some of the Israelites were left in the region of Samaria (the former capital of Israel). There were not a sufficient number of Israelites to remain separate and perpetuate the people so they intermarried with the native people of Canaan. This intermarriage was not allowed by Jewish law. Since the Samaritans had intermarried the Jewish people rejected them as Israelites. This lead the Samaritans to set up a temple of their own on Mt Gerazim. This caused an additional reason for the reject of the Samaritans by the Jewish people (who claimed that all must worship at the temple in Jerusalem).
