Opinion • The real opponents of Israel's liberals aren't conservatives

The opinion piece argues that the main adversaries of liberal policies in Israel are not conservative groups but rather other liberal factions who oppose progressive reforms. The author suggests that internal divisions within the liberal camp, such as resistance to judicial reforms or social changes, pose a greater threat to liberal values than external conservative forces. This perspective challenges the common narrative that the primary opposition to liberalism comes from the right. The article emphasizes the need for unity among liberals to effectively push forward their agenda.

Why objectivity (40): The tone is clearly opinionated, presenting a biased perspective that frames the conflict as being between liberals and non-conservatives. The language lacks neutrality and promotes a specific ideological stance.
