Exclusive homeland myths directly justify ethnic cleansing and expulsion.

Evidence

It is, after all, precisely this exclusive conception of “homeland” that led the Serbs to refuse to share their territory—as they have done for centuries—with their Muslim neighbors in Bosnia and justified ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. It is a version of this conception of the Jewish diaspora, and its prophesied “return” to Israel, that is the source of Israel’s quarrel with its Middle Eastern neighbors, for which the Palestinian people have paid so dearly and, paradoxically, by expulsion from what is also, after all, their homeland. — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 828

Categorization

• XREF: Directly relevant to the Islamophobia corpus — the Palestine example links myth-of-homeland mechanics to the very populations the downstream readings analyze.
• ADDENDUM: The exclusive-homeland mechanism connects to the sacrificial/territorial logic themes in the sacrifice essay — how exclusivity of place authorizes violence toward others.
