Whoa, way to escalate a discussion. I thought we all fled from Reddit because of things like this.

Liberalism is not a single ideology. I wrote a few other replies to explain this. Check the Wikipedia page on liberalism in Europe, it's quite diverse.

In political science definitions aren't prescribed, they are described. The meaning of liberalism is dependent on what actors who call themselves liberal say or do.

There are different kinds of liberalism. There is social liberalism, classic liberalism, conservative liberalism, etc. Considering how broad liberalism is, for most people it doesn't make sense to "oppose" liberalism.

A country doesn't have an ideology. People and parties do.

People assign different meanings to it. Many people are aware of the differences in liberalism between the US and Europe, but also within Europe there are many differences. Liberalism in the UK differs quite a lot from Sweden and the Netherlands. And within countries conservative Christian parties might say they are liberal, as well as centre leftwinged parties. Yet, they might find it hard to collaborate and have strong disagreements on the role of the state.

Liberals can easily have entirely different views on the conflict between Palestine and Israel.

Liberalism doesn't tell you exactly what to prioritise here. For sure is that the establishment of settlements isn't very liberal, and violence against civilizations isn't either. But liberalism doesn't dictate a solution.

I don't really recognise this in responses that I've heard so far. Everyone seems to be quite aware that Israel's military capabilities can't be compared to those of Hamas and a large part of the escalation is in the hands of Israel.

The western world can't even agree on what liberals are. It is not that helpful to characterise 'liberals" in a particular way around this issue, especially when randomly involving minorities in Ukraine.

Instead of focussing on whose side who is on, let's focus on reducing suffering and how to work towards a situation where international agreements are upheld.
