Anti-Semitism is driven by the desire to scapegoat others, Woody Allen said in an interview published this week, and even if it were eradicated, some other form of hatred would take its place.
“It’s in the nature of people to have someone to scapegoat,” Allen told the Guardian during a promotion drive for his new movie “Café Society.”
“If there were no Jews in the world they would take it out on blacks,” he said. “If no blacks, they’d move over to Catholics. No Catholics? Something else. Finally, if everyone is exactly the same, the left-handed people would start killing the right-handed people. You just need an other [on whom] to vent your hostility and frustration.”
