In case you have forgot, I will remind you of the Inquisition by the Roman catholic church where over 100 million people, most christians who took their Bible serious were tortured and slaughtered because they would not bow down to the system (Roman catholic church).
SO if you think that it is only the Jews who have been persecuted I would advise you to google:
inquisition.
"For teaching faith contrary to the teaching of the Church of Rome, history records the martyrdom of more than 100 million people." Brief Bible Readings p. 16
"For professing faith contrary to the teachings of the Church of Rome, history records the martyrdom of more then one hundred million people. A million Waldenses and Albigenses [Swiss and French Protestants] perished during a crusade proclaimed by Pope Innocent III in 1208. Beginning from the establishment of the Jesuits in 1540 to 1580, nine hundred thousand were destroyed. One hundred and fifty thousand perished by the Inquisition in thirty years. Within the space of thirty-eight years after the edict of Charles V against the Protestants, fifty thousand persons were hanged, beheaded, or burned alive for heresy. Eighteen thousand more perished during the administration of the Duke of Alva in five and a half years."--Brief Bible Readings, p. 16.
So if you think that it is only the Jews who have been persecuted, I think you should think again. And also as all the literal Jews have not accepted Jesus, how can they be persecuted for His names sake? It is the christians (Spritual Jews -literal Jews and gentiles-) who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus who have been persecuted for His names sake.
Yes the Jews were treated in a horrible manner during Hitlers dictatorship, but so has many Gentiles (protestants) by the Roman Catholic church. But for some weird reason the whole world seem to have forgotten all about that!
"There was no village of the Vaudois valleys but had its martyrs. The Waldenses were burned; they were cast into damp and horrid dungeons; they were smothered in crowds in mountain caverns, mothers and babes, and old men and women together; they were sent out into exile in the winter night, unclothed and unfed, to climb the snowy mountains; they were hurled over the rocks; their houses and lands were taken from them; their children were stolen to be indoctrinated with the religion which they abhorred. Rapacious individuals were sent among them to strip them of their property, to persecute and exterminate them. Thousands of heretics" or Waldenses, "old men, women and children, were hung, quartered, broken upon the wheel, or burned alive and their property confiscated for the benefit of the king, and Holy See."-Thompson - The Papacy and the Civil Power
