The Allies offloaded Holocaust survivors and their guilt onto the Arab world

Evidence

But the story didn’t end there. Because the Allies, who finally saw fit to stop Hitler, decided that they did not want to open their borders to his surviving victims, and instead offloaded their Jewish problem, along with their collective shame and guilt about the Holocaust, onto the Arab world and said: “You take it.” — Naomi Klein, Doppelganger, 989

Categorization

• QUESTION: Klein’s compression here — ‘You take it’ — is rhetorically forceful but invites scrutiny: how much of 1948’s outcome does the Allies’ refusal to accept refugees genuinely explain versus overstate? Worth chasing the historiography.
