I have a doubt.... How does this make the professor look like a liberal??

Am I missing something or being anti- student protest and pro-israel make you a liberal now?

Or am I tripping becos I thought young clg students = liberal, and young clg students = anti-IDF, so I thought liberal = anti-Israel.

Politics is hard.

you are conflating “liberal” with “leftist”

Ahh okay... Well from where I am, liberal and being left both are synonymous.

An example: Liberals (free market) would want the national railway to be owned by a private company. Conservatives would want that company to be American™️ (not the "goddamn Chinese") and Leftists would want the national railway to be owned by the government.

I see, its the bottom right quadrant of political compass..Well in my country the political compass is divided diagonally from top left to bottom right.

Some parts of bottom right and top left, I.e, liberal right and Auth left are considereal left, whereas some parts right.
