No, not all of them!

Dear Janus,

I truly appreciate your keen interest in, and vast knowledge of Jewish history. As such, you probably must be aware that the survival of the Jewish People during this unbelievably long exile, among most harsh conditions, and under almost uninterrupted persecution and harassment, is a unique and outstanding phenomenon in the History of Mankind.

If this implausible survival in itself is not WINNING A WAR AGAINST REALITY, then what is?

And please trust me, I can cite you many more cases in which such "wars against reality" were won by the Jewish people but for the sake of concision I will not go ahead with it.
