Apparently at least 134 out of 394 people hate her. (Discussion of why is in the comments, especially on the second page, when I tried to debate someone on it, but they didn't engage. In fact, that is what really made me love this article so much, because one of the claims was that the person hated Ziva because she got away with more than the guys while still being liked by fandom because she was a girl. *headdesk*)
As a newsletter editor, I've read lots of posts in which Ziva and/or Cote de Pablo is not only disliked, but bashed. [SPOILERS FOR 7x01 Truth or Consequences] In discussion for the season opener, more than one person blamed her for being caught and tortured, saying basically that she was reaping what she sowed for how she treated Tony in the season 6 finale and Tony was "dumb as a doornail" for going after her because she didn't deserve it. Her actions at the end of season 6 (the entire thread at FandomSecrets), especially how she treated Tony are a big reason why a lot of people dislike her.
I'm fine with people not liking characters. Heck, there are a number of characters on various shows that I don't particularly like. Some of the attitudes I've encountered, however, really disappoint me.
Sorry for the treatise. TL;DR Yes, a lot people dislike Ziva, sometimes with a passion, and they have their reasons, whether I think they are rational or not.
