one of the most persecuted and oppressed minorities in history.
That is false, no matter how badly you want it to be true. Nothing you can say or do will make it true. You can only pretend that it's true.

You are ignorant and don't know what you are talking about.

Better in such instances to keep your mouth shut.

Let them feel like victims. No amount of common sense will change their self-perception that they suffered! It gives them reinforcement in their belief that they alone are right.

Believe me, I come from a religion that likes to bask in its forefathers’ persecution. I have no patience for such stupidity. What my ancestors suffered has no bearing on me, I am not a victim. They were. But I have seen that ‘victim’ bs too often in my life.
