"This group of people is not worth immediate and drastic action, they're not worth saving," it says. Yet when it wants to destroy, liberalism is immediately present.

Israel's genocide of Gaza is not Liberalism being too weak to stand up to Israel. The genocide in Gaza was created by Liberals and continues to be funded by them, at every step Liberal institutions (yes even those that pretend to fight them like the UN, ICC, and ICJ) have done nothing but spread their propaganda and give them weapons. Remember, capitalism inherently requires imperialism and Liberalism serves very little more than the interests of capitalists.

TLDR: Liberalism cannot be "fixed", Liberalism is the problem

Yes this is actually the correct take. The "concern" and "lashing out" by liberal institutions is all performative.

Genocide Joe will say "Israel, banning Al Jazeera and killing all those civilians is very bad" and then punish them by slightly delaying a weapons shipment. Meanwhile the ICJ will most likely put out arrest warrants while making no plans to actually execute said warrants. Even the "good" Liberal countries (Spain, Norway, and Ireland) have done nothing but pay lipservice to Palestinians.
