Can't say that I've delved much into Jewish history, though I've run across tales of the Babylonian captivity, circa 600 BCE:

But it's always been something of a puzzle to me how the Jews have "gotten it in the neck" throughout much of European history in the intervening 2600 years -- one pogrom and genocide after another. Some reasons there, methinks, that gives weight to the argument that the World more or less owes the Jews a homeland of their own:

I am so, so sad that SO MANY cannot see and are participating in repeating history. I am old and will probably be gone; but my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren...I just keep talking with them, praying with them, and beseeching them to not let hatred win 😭😭😭
