She doesn´t hate him present-term. In the beginning she was mighty disturbed by his previously inconcievable presence, which was essentially the opposite of hers. She was incapable of sympathizing with him at the start, which was only furthered because he unwittingly insulted "her life", and every other ghoul's for that matter.

Abuse is (probably almost)never perfectly justified, but her agitation is understandable, and she started moving away from it after some time even though she kept her irritation readily apparent. Spending around two months in each other's presence however resulted in some changes that may or may not occur when people are near each other, but events threw her budding new feelings towards him in with very cold water as she battled another lingering remnant of her past. Kaneki is to blame for hurting her in some ways, and so are others as well as she herself. After the Aogiri Arc she wasn´t really given a situation in which she could act nicely with him full of honesty. Presently, I imagine she holds some strong lingering feelings towards him, both ones of familiar affection and ones of irritation with the way he thrusts himself into his self-destructive paths. Her influence at the end of the original series appeared to have started changing him into something more balanced and arguably better, and given the chance, she could surely aid him in starting to try and find himself once more. Hide and Touka are most likely the ones who can most positively and healthily influence him.
