Some Sunnis hate some Shiites and some Shiites hate some Sunnis, but the majority of the conflicts between them are not theological, but political, social, and economic. These labels work similarly to ethnic labels in the Balkans, ripping people and countries apart. It does not help that many Sunnis and Shiites purposely or unintentionally misconstrue the doctrines of the other in order to give Divine Legitimacy to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl for resources.

Do Shiites hate Saudi Arabia?

They hate Saudi family [Ibn Saud and his progeny] not Saudi Arabia, per se. Shiites hate Wahhabism (the movement of Sunni Islam that has official promotion in Saudi Arabia), not Arab people, because Wahhabism claims that Shiites are deviants from Islam and are a corrupted Jewish sect. This is untrue, since Shiites follow Islam from the time of Prophet Muhammad through his family (the sons and grandsons of his only daughter, Fatimah). Additionally, the Saudi government supports the persecution of Saudi Shiites and the destruction of their mosques.

Do koalas and bears hate each other?

No. "Hate" is a human term often misapplied to animals. No animals "hate" each other. they have territorial issues, and experience fear, but not "hate". Apart from that, koalas and bears are not even aware of the existence of each other, as they are found on completely different continents.
