Asking because I’ve seen it mention a few times recently and haven’t really followed the German news.

What is the general situation? Are the polls giving any party favorite? Is it a topic widely discussed around you?

    Pretty accurate analysis, if i might say. My only remark is on the term of “shift the blame on arabs” you used. I’d say there is a rising ressentiment in the media and populace against arabs/muslim/islamism, partially due to media reporting on violence/threats against jews in germany originating from people that have a deeper empathy for Gaza/Palestine due to their ethnic roots. Displaying these people this way as barbaric/evil kind of works as a justification to treat them in a inhuman way as well. So you see peaceful protests in germany against israels war being forcefully disbanded, with the police sometimes being cruel and brutal.
