Solving one refugee crisis creates a new category of refugees

Evidence

After the war it turned out that the Jewish question, which was considered the only insoluble one, was indeed solved—namely, by means of a colonized and then conquered territory—but this solved neither the problem of the minorities nor the stateless. On the contrary, like virtually all other events of our century, the solution of the Jewish question merely produced a new category of refugees, the Arabs, thereby increasing the number of the stateless and rightless by another 700,000 to 800,000 people. And what happened in Palestine within the smallest territory and in terms of hundreds of thousands was then repeated in India on a large scale involving many millions of people. Since the Peace Treaties of 1919 and 1920 thé refugees and the stateless have attached themselves like a curse to all the newly established states on earth which were created in the image of the nation-state. — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 703

• SEED: A structural essay on how ‘solving’ displacement by territorial settlement merely regenerates displacement — Israel/Palestine’s 700-800k then India’s millions as the pattern every later nation-state repeats.
• XREF: The Arab Palestinian refugees as a byproduct links directly to how contemporary Islamophobia discourse treats Palestinians and Muslims as perpetually rightless populations.
