But not so torturous that you ignore the topic, right?

I declined to vote as I'm not sure. And reasoning it out would be depressing. Which is troubling.

I can't say for sure either..if I had to guess,I would say that historically no people have been as persecuted as the Jewish people,but that's just a guess.

I doubt any such group wants or cares about your 'sympathy'.

Going by at least WW 2; you may be right. The Jews lost what, 1 in 3 of their people in the Holocaust?

Tho word is its what people call "middleman" groups who have the rep of getting whacked when times are bad. Same for the Tutsis in Rwanda, Chineses in many countries and so on so it ain't a "race" thing.
