You didn’t hear the US state dept repeatedly claiming “Israel has a right to defend itself” for 6 straight months after the Hamas attack? They still won’t let corpo media use the term genocide, some high profile reporters have even resigned over it.
I see people agreeing it’s complex, because it is. But the majority of liberals I see, across multiple mediums, are against this. Not all of course, %100 of a group rarely does something, but anyone in these comments both siding this while also just oddly admitting to being liberal are not the majority.
My brother in Christ, our president is literally Joedolf “if there wasn’t an Israel, we would have to invent an Israel to secure our interests in the region” Bidler.
You won’t see many of us both side shit regarding this. It’s an attempt to genocide, pretty easy. What you will see are people, often very angry, who immediately make assumptions, claim we are genocide lovers, and refuse to listen to literally anything, including their target agreeing with them. Tbh part of me feels as if Republicans are in the comment sections trying to split hairs and widen divisions at times.
I haven’t heard any liberals trying to “both sides” the issue. I have heard Republicans expressing their support for the genocide though.

It’s likely that the use of “Western Liberals” here is meant to include both major US political parties.
