Israel - Scapegoat of the Scimitar

This is the equivalent of this. The primitive sacred always, always, always needs the model/rival and sacrificial mechanism in place - it is its modus operandi. Such displays of dehumanization are the way the primitive sacred displaces animosities that would divide "us" as we cast them onto the scapegoat de rigueur.

Without a scapegoat, the Scimitar would summarily tear itself apart in rivalries. The Scimitar will always scapegoat Israel, by definition.
