    Sure. Of course. But there are also liberals or people who conceive of themselves as liberals and do not see their living in Israel as effective support for a Zionist settler-colonial project. They are ofc objectively incorrect, but the fact that there is now even further shifts in which their subjectively liberal pov gets moved more explicitly to the right is politically significant. Again it serves no purpose simply saying "liberals are fascists", which is either trivial or nonsense, as it obscures real political differences between them and blinds us to how the politics of a regime are going to shift. It reflects a deepening of the fascism of Israeli state and society. We know that when liberals are scratched fascists often bleed, but not making the distinction between them being objectively part of a fascist project and their being subjectively fascist seems like vulgar materialism to me.
