We can identify as white and still ask people to remember that we too are marginalized and hated. There’s no rule that says there can only be one way to be marginalized. We can be oppressors and also be oppressed.

The whole story works, and really well, except this paragraph. By accepting whiteness as you describe it, wouldn’t you opt out of marginalization? Hatred by Nazis and neo-nazis? Still there of course. But that’s hated. Not oppressed, unless you think they are winning.

Jews as a minority, and small one, are hated by another minority and a small one. That’s inter-minority conflict, and not in any way the same kind of marginalization other groups you have mentioned here face on a daily basis.

And American Jews would at present have a very difficult time claiming economic or political or certainly cultural marginalization.
