Well to target the Jews is easy as both epicurious and niranjan have stated above. If someone has no power other than the metaphysical and conviction then the people with physical power can easily persecute these people with ease. It seems that these were the efforts of say; the Nazi's during WWII. If the Jews had tanks and guns during the events before WWII then probably the holocaust would never have happened.
Israel is at the moment a case in point I think in this debate. They have the fire power and nukes on their side and they are still here. The Communists in China are still here, the Christians in America are still here, the Russians with all of their disassociative qualities are still here. Power, physical power, has a lot to say against the conviction of beliefs. God obviously does not intervene and any religion and culture can take that to the bank. After WWII the Jews are given a homeland, given the power to defend it, wow they are thriving. What does that say?
