I've seen fairly universal support from liberal voters both irl and online for Palestine, but not from our politicians.
That was the same with black liberation and apartheid South Africa in MLK and Mandela's time: they support it only in theory. How many of them supported direct action and use of violent force to actually materially change those? How many of them support Hamas, PFLP, etc in our current time now?
The answer is "not many", because MLK, Malcolm X and Mandela were all right about liberals being the same as conservatives in practice.
See what Malcolm X, MLK, and Mandela meant? You would've said shit like this about MLK's and Mandela's violent riots and sabotages of the government too, and liberals did.
Take a visit to /r/worldnews, then
Yeah people seem to forget liberalism is a right-wing ideology. One look at Reddit's takes on Palestine says everything.
