“We live in a society of victimization, where people are much more comfortable being victimized than actually standing up for themselves.”

“Through the ages, many different groups have called themselves victims. Some came through wars and massacres. Some were slaves or minorities. But the Jews, who have always been victimized throughout history, don’t see themselves as victims. We see ourselves as survivors. The difference between survivors and victims is that survivors go on with their lives after a tragedy, whereas victims continue to wallow in self-pity.”

“Man is much more the victim of his psychic constitution than its inventor.”

“We live in a world where one needs to choose - to be the victim or the executioner, and nothing else.”

“In addition, when a neighborhood's crime victims are portrayed as victims-sympathetically and without blame, as humans rather than as statistics-people living in other parts of the city are more inclined to support social services for the area, which in turn can reduce the crime rate.”

“It is better being the victim then the victimizer. ”
