However, Valentino believes that victims of mass killing tend to serve as scapegoats only for a small number of high- ranking political and military figures, but not for the majority of the populace.11 these events encourage genocide not because they prompt societies to seek scapegoats, but because these events provide the incentives, opportunity and cover for revolutionary elites seeking to consolidate political power or implement genocidal ideologies.12 The decision to eliminate a certain community, whether religious, ethnical or political stems from a belief that a large-scale societal transformation is only possible when a rival group is physically removed through deportation, isolation and extermination.	cache/infactispax-1065.pdf	txt/infactispax-1065.txt
