Sadly, the Jews have been the whipping boys of empires since at least the Assyrians. The Hebrew tribes started out as nomads in search of a promised land, and finding it in Canaan, they have been the target of hatred for millennia. Dispersed all over the planet by force, they nevertheless retained their culture and beliefs rooted on Mt. Zion and the promise of "Next year in Jerusalem." Hated and persecuted for merely surviving but used by kings and emperors for needed financial support and education that advanced society, the Jews returned home in the last century where they turned a barren wasteland into a garden of Eden and a liberal democracy amid neighboring tyrannies and a culture of sadistic rapists and murderers. The Jews are again the target of jealousy and hatred stirred up by failed empires which promise that the elimination of the Jews and their nation will solve the problems created by those same empires. God forbid that the Jews are wiped out. Who will become the next whipping boys?

Enslaved multiple times throughout the millenia, and murdered by the millions. Yet, they are not part of the "oppressed" according to the regressives.
