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.
