Hi,
"Mishnah: They made a ramp for him [the person transporting the scapegoat on Yom Kippur], for the Babylonians would pull his hair, saying, 'Take it and go! Take it and go!'
"Rabbah bar bar Chanah said: They were not Babylonians; they were Alexandrians, but because the Israelis hated the Babylonians they identified this group by their name."
(Talmud, Yoma 66b)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
