the Torah and the Gospels were written by defeated People.....
the gospels, the letters were written during a time when Christianity took off like wildfire across the Roman empire and became the dominate religion of the known civilized world
the very essence of those letters indicate anything but a defeated people.
If one attacks, one must overcome and win in battle if one defends, one must only survive to succeed
The Jews have survived even genocide......that is not defeat.
