I understand why they hate talos, but I still haven't figured out why they hate the blades.

The Blades identified the Thalmor as a threat, and took action against them. There was a shadow war between the two groups for some time before the Great War, when the Thalmor revealed just how much over the Blades' heads they were.
They were the only competant mannish spy organization left, and they had been performing counter-espionage against the thalmor's agents.
Personally, I just find that word "mannish" terrible.
Human would suffice, or any other option.
by mannish I mean mannish aligned. I'm sure the blades had non-humans in their ranks.
The Blades were the "eyes and ears" of the Empire which happens to be the Dominion's rival. I think the rest is self-explanatory.
Yeah, the Blades are Talos worshipers and they were spying in Aldmeri land.
The blades serve Talos and Talos is a heathen god in the eyes of the Thalmor.
They used to like the blades very much. They were best friends even... But then they met Delphine and now they hate them. It's understandable.
The Blades serve the Emperor, And Thalmor hates Emperor.
