When a group of people that have been historicaly subject to genocide, take measures to commits genocide themselves; do they lose their “Victim of Genocide” card?

No. This first part is correct...

a group of people that have been historicaly subject to genocide

...thanks to "western civilization," Jewish people have been subjected to marginalization, demonisation and even genocide. But the second part...

take measures to commits genocide themselves

...is based on a false assumption - that it's Jewish people that are doing this... and that's simply not true. Israel is not a Jewish thing - it's a Zionist thing. Zionism can be Jewish, Christian or even non-religious.

Some of Israel's fiercest critics are Jewish, for instance.

Sooo... the answer is no.
