This is the legacy of a country that never denazified, but still falls in line with Western hegemony regarding the imperialist project of Israel. They have found a new victim to foist their racist paranoia unto and simultaneously use the widespread opposition among Muslims and Arabs to Israel (a state that ethnically cleanses and exterminates them) as means to justify their extermination because their opposition to the Israel is systemically and legally classified as antisemitic.
This is the obvious consequence of labeling valid criticism of Israel as rote antisemitism is fueling anti-Muslim villainization and hysteria. If you oppose Arab extermination and ethnic cleansing, you are antisemitic. And if you're antisemitic you deserve extermination.
Immigration will be an ever bigger issue in the future, interesting to see how politicians frame it. I guess this hints at liberal saying "keep em out they're all bigots".
Immigration is like the keystone issue in German politics at the moment, because for native Germans they are in the midst of the worst inverted demographic pyramid in the world other than Japan. Their population is ancient and decrepit and they need immigration for both menial and intellectual labor, but they're incredibly conservative and mostly xenophobic. The country's "democracy" is run on behalf of an unproductive class of olds on the top that both need immigrant labor, but want to punish immigrants.

"Keep out immigrants because they aren't woke" would be absolutely something I hear libs saying. Woke obviously being used disingenuous.

The original 80s/90s anti-immigration ferver was driven by the perception that Latinos were only coming to the US to sell drugs and rape women. This isn't even new. It's just been given a new layer of varnish for the 21st century.
Immigration is going to be interesting for the west as a whole (due to generally shitty fertility and demographics). Right now there's a facade of the west being the most "tolerant/progressive" part of the world but that's obviously not the case. From imperialism to media coverage to structural socioeconomic issues, there's a lot of bullshit beneath the surface. In fact, this very sentiment is rooted in white chauvinism (or white man's burden) and therefore self-contradictory.
But as immigration numbers go up, more and more of the underlying racism and xenophobia will show itself and the facade will be stripped away. Structural and systemic racism will bubble to the surface, more and more yt people will become openly reactionary and vote for far-right politicians to keep the migrants out.
The positive flip side of this is that I see around me, is a lot of westerners being increasingly red-pilled to horrible the shit the west is doing. Immigrants are increasingly the friends, colleagues, neigbors, spouses and family of westeners. So racist propaganda isn't sticking like it used to. Don't know if I described it clearly like this.
I hope you're right. Seems like far right and neo nazi shit has made significant political gains in recent years.

They won't have to frame it in any way because the media in the global north will put a blackout on any news of the masses of climate refugees being imprisoned or outright gunned down.
