Problem
Unlike other ethnic groups in the United States, Jewish Americans are primarily linked though religious faith rather than typical identifiers of an ethnic group such as a common homeland or distinct physical similarities. As a result, in the United States, and for the most part globally, Jews share a common bond through religion and an identity forged by a shared history of oppression. This has resulted in a Jewish group identity that transcends national borders and class structures in supporting collective solidarity against perceived threats.
Explain your choices in this scenario by addressing the following question.
Due to the history of the Jewish people, are they more cognizant of and prone to view perceived prejudices as a threat to the group as a whole, rather than view them as isolated events?
