>So the Jews weren't some uniquely persecuted group
They're unique in that they survived Christian/Catholic persecution in Europe - unlike the Iberians, Cathars, pagan cultures, etc. due to their religious connection to the common culture, and their niche as a financial/scapegoat caste in the feudal system.
Basically, the proselytizing Abrahamic faiths are like a cancer upon human cultural diversity - imposing their acute yet 'universalist' (unapologetically assimilationist) narrative on everyone else they stumble upon. The enlightenment and secularism has tampered this with Christians.
>and their entire culture and worldview is based on nothing?
Their culture and worldview is based on and defined by themselves, like any other culture. It revolves around their relation to non-Jews in your head (i.e. a history of persecution) because you don't care to understand or empathize with them (would contradict your already-ingrained head-canon).
