After reading posts here for a while you get a good grasp on who travels and who laps up whatever media induced garbage has been dished up. Americans are the worst as they travel the least.

And you got that impression from Australias newspapers, and the guardian and so on.
Impressive.
Thats like me telling the USA to drop Trump because my local newspaper told me that he can't keep his voters as the tariffs are hurting them. But I would not post this, because I am about four thousand kilometers apart from you.
Mediterranean countries Italy and Greece have taken the brunt of migrant and asylum seeker arrivals to Europe in recent years. Most people seeking refuge arriving in Italy used to continue their journeys to northern Europe. However, the introduction of EU-backed processing centers to ensure migrants are identified at their first entry point in Europe, along with stricter border controls implemented by France, Switzerland and Austria, created barriers along this well-worn route.
The situation has resulted in some 160,000 migrants, who would rather leave Italy, being stuck in the country..

Italy is right, but not for the reasons you have in mind.
Traini stated that the attack was "revenge" for Pamela Mastropietro, an 18-year-old Roman woman whose dismembered body had been found few days earlier, stuffed into two suitcases and dumped in the countryside; for this, three Nigerian drug dealers were arrested, the main suspect being 29-year-old failed asylum seeker, named Innocent Oseghale.[71][72] Missing body parts had sparked allegations of the murder having been a muti killing, also involving cannibalism.[73]
The case sparked anger and anti-immigrant sentiment in Macerata. Traini's lawyer reported "alarming solidarity" for Traini expressed by the populace, while Mastropietro's mother publicly thanked Traini for "lighting a candle" for her daughter.[74] A second autopsy of the girl's remains, published after the attack against the African migrants, revealed that Mastropietro had been strangulated, stabbed, and then flayed while still alive.[75] The murder of Mastropietro and the attack by Traini, and their appraisal by Italian media and the public were "set to become a decisive factor" in the national elections.[76]
Traini was a member and former local candidate of the Lega, and many political commentators, intellectuals and politicians harshly criticized party leader Matteo Salvini, in connection with the attack, accusing him of having "spread hate and racism" in the country. Particularly, Roberto Saviano, the notable anti-mafia writer, labeled Salvini as the "moral instigator" of Traini's attack.[77] Salvini responded to critics by accusing the centre-left government of responsibility for Mastropietro’s death through allowing migrants to stay in the country and having "blood on their hands", asserting that the blame lies with those who "fill [Italy] with illegal immigrants".[78]
Prime Minister Gentiloni stated that he "trusts in the sense of responsibility of all political forces. Criminals are criminals and the state will be particularly harsh with anyone that wants to fuel a spiral of violence." Gentiloni added that "hate and violence will not divide Italy".[79] Also, Minister of the Interior Marco Minniti harshly condemned the attack against the Africans, saying that any political party must "ride the hate".[80] Renzi, whose party was also accused about its position on immigration, stated that "calm and responsibility" from all political forces would now be necessary

I can't fathome a single Kraut Leftist that hasn't left his country for vacation or something. Actually, I start to think that this phrase "The Left" stems from "he left". Another good phrase lost in translation to some morons overseas.
Nationalism breeds more homegrown terror,
Nationalism is a reaction to peoples perception of the lowering of their standard of living, coupled with the odd possibly homegrown terror attack ( whether the Security forces are complicit or not ).
Throw at it a load of multiculturalism, ripping up statues of National heroes or icons, dilute their cultural heritage and people will react.
