In Germany you can get by with pretty much any job. If you don’t earn enough you can apply for welfare. It’s a pain in the ass, but better than working yourself to death. If you want more, you need a good education. Generally speaking, the better your education, the more likely it is that you can get by with only speaking English. But wages are lower than in counties like the US.
I guess that applies to the whole of Israel, though. Gaza is the most dangerous hot spot right now. But I don’t know if that has always been the case. Hamas came to power in 2006. I guess people just carried on, hoping for the best and trusting in the security forces. But honestly all of that is speculation. My point was just, that the reasons for people living there are complicated.
I was under the impression that the border was extremely well guarded and secure. At least at some point it must have been. It seems like the government recently moved troops to the west bank in order to protect settlers instead. https://lemmy.world/post/6616736

I think the answers others have given you definitely apply to the very far right voters. They are against all form of immigration. But that doesn’t explain the AFD’s rise in popularity. So I’m going to talk about the more moderate rightwing people here. There is a lot of immigration into Germany, EU migrants and legal, as well as illigal immigration from outside the EU. Plus Ukrainian refugees. Most people on the right don’t mind EU migrants as well as Ukrainian refugees. Ukrainian refugees btw. are mostly women and children. Legal migrants from outside the EU are more complicated, and I’m sure there are various levels of acceptance. The real problem though are illegal immigrants, mostly from the middle east and Africa. They are mostly men with poor education and in many areas the infrastructure to accommodate them are at their limits. It doesn’t help that these places are neglected and violence does break out at some of them every now and then. These stories obviously spread on social media like wildfire.
US sanctions against China are absolutely minimal. There is a lot of room to escalate. But apart from that, I don’t think that’s what’s happening. NK has nothing but weapons. Old and shitty ones, sure. But most of them can explode.
That’s not true. The greens have always pushed for more renewables. The Ukraine war didn’t change that, if anything it forced the ampel to build LNG terminals and subsidize gas.
