Quick takeaways

• Progressive activists faced criticism for not supporting a ceasefire, but as evidence of genocidal rhetoric and collective punishment emerged, more liberals began to support calls for a ceasefire.

• Liberal Democrats expressed concern for innocent civilians, but their lack of action raised suspicions of choreographed messaging and partisan motivations, maintaining a progressive image while not challenging US military support for Israel.

• The Biden administration maintained a liberal image while ensuring support for Israel, expressing concern publicly but providing material support and making no effort to push for a ceasefire or address the humanitarian crisis caused by the bombing.
