I would argue that these internationalists more than often belong to a certain (very protected) group, who want open borders for everyone else, but not when it comes to their own ethno-state in the Middle East.

There is a self-flagellating myth in England that in other countries people aren't racist or xenophobic. That foreigners are somehow more enlightened than we are. Of course there are racist and xenophobic people in every country! I've lived in several of them and listened to all the nastiness. We produce much of the media about Brits behaving terribly abroad ourselves, and we're shooting ourselves in the foot because other countries (like Spain) import it and use it as trash TV to prove how terrible we foreigners are.
