Sorry to point something out there, the Jewish landowners did not get special treatment because they were jews, they were killed by fellow jews who were running the state terror organs and were killing off any ethnic middle class. Jews were not the sole or the majority of the victems here and no matter how this is turned it will never seem that way. Whole villages of ethnic Russians and Ukrainians were simply exterminated for resisting collectivism. And for the record, half the people killed in the concentration camps by the Nazies were Christians, mostly Poles. Jews have suffered, but to say they have some kind of monopoly on being persecuted and are innocent of persecution is ludicrous to the extreme....abserve the comments of how the Hebrews treated the minority Semaritans....who were also Jewish by religion.

I believe that a disproportionately high number of Jews died relative to their numbers in teh middle class. At any rate, your claim proves that this was not a Jewish program against Christians, but a communist one against class enemies.

. And for the record, half the people killed in the concentration camps by the Nazies were Christians, mostly Poles.
1/9 Christian Poles died. 2/3 of European Jews were killed. That is a huge difference.

I have never claimed this.
Certainly the Roma/Gypsies suffered a similar fate.

Hebrews treated the minority Semaritans....who were also Jewish by religion.

Samaritans are not Jews by religion. They are followers of a closely related sect that began diverging in the 10th Century BCE, after the United Kingdom split into the Northern and Southern Kingdoms. The North, dominated by the tribe of Ephraim began to change the common religion in ways influenced by neighboring Semetic religions.
Many from the Northern Kingdom fled to Judah after the Assyrians invaded.
Some picked up Jewish customs. Others kept their own. After the Babylonians exiled most citizens of the Southern Kingdom, the remaining Ephraimites and Judeans intermarried with settling Babylonians and a new cult emmerged with different sacred places, differet rituals, and a different name for God.
When the Jews returned from Babylonian exile, they found this new sect occupying much of the land. This was the cause of much hostility as both claimed to be the correct religion.
At any rate, Jews persecuted Samaritans rarely and only between 600BCE and 70 CE. Thereafter, Jews adn Samaritans made common cause against the Romans and Hellenistic colonizers. They were united int eh Bar Kokhba revolt of 135-136 and many more until the last one in 617CE.
Today, thanks to Byzantine Christian and Muslim subjugation, there are fewer than 10,000 Samaritans. They are not persecuted in Israel, but are persecuted by the Palestinians.
