Expelling stateless Jews exported Nazism and justified intervention abroad

Evidence

In this respect, the prewar “solution” of the Jewish question was the outstanding export commodity of Nazi Germany: expulsion of Jews carried an important portion of Nazism into other countries; by forcing Jews to leave the Reich passportless and penniless, the legend of the Wandering Jew was realized, and by forcing the Jews into uncompromising hostility against them, the Nazis had created the pretext for taking a passionate interest in all nations’ domestic policies. — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 931

Categorization

• XREF: Feeds directly into Arendt’s account of statelessness and the manufacture of the enemy; connects to the Islamophobia field’s treatment of how expulsions/deportations create the pretext for expanding state surveillance over domestic politics.
• DEEPTHINKING: A dense causal chain: expulsion as export commodity, the manufacture of the Wandering Jew, and the self-fulfilling construction of an enemy as pretext for global interference — operates on several levels at once.
