I agree with everything already suggested and regardless of whether the cause is jealousy, ignorance, bad manners, insecurity, or anything else it is a form of bullying and the behaviour is unacceptable. Harassment does not have to be intentional on the part of the perpetrator, it is sufficient that you feel harassed.
I too would take Rose's approach - now (ie don't wait to see if you are retained) and then (especially if they don't respond positively) continue to be your usual pleasant self.
If this were a large group in an office it would be less noticeable but it effectively splits your team in half so it is detrimental to team morale as well long term.
If you are going to adopt Rose's suggestion, imagine we are all standing right behind you being supportive when you speak to them.
Good luck and let us know how you go.
