They are elevated by themselves and by news organisations (articles), legislatures (laws), education institutions, entertainment organisations (cinema films, tv shows, plays) etc as being special and deserving of special treatment that non-jews do not get. Criticising jews is a crime in many countries, a special treatment that non-jews do not get. Jews receive no public rebuke for making vociferous but ungrounded public complaints, a special treatment that non-jews do not get.

They're not special. They're the same as everyone else. They should be treated the same as everyone else.
