Too many people are invested in being victims.
Surely you are not speaking of the Jewish people? For 2,500 years Jews have been persecuted... severely. Yet, they quietly picked up the pieces and kept on. For a victimized people, they are easily the most remarkable on earth.
Don't ever mention the word "victim" to a Jew. Jews don't want your sympathy - after the holocaust, Jews are simply sick of denial on the part of people like you.

I’m speaking of many types of people and was making a point that appears to have eluded you. Your post is simply an attempted smear.

well, there have been some (admittedly much, muccccch less) persecutions by Jews of others.
The two that come to mind are that of the forced conversion of the Edomites (Idumeans) to Judaism by the Maccabees
the second was the actions of Yusuf Asar Yathar, a Jewish King in Yemen -- which admittedly he stated that he would persecute Christians living in his kingdom because Christian states persecuted his fellow co-religionists in their realms. Like burning their churches and massacring 20,000 odd Najran Christians
Of course, I stress again that this was minor compared to the persecution of Jews over the centuries, but it still happened.
