Some things to think about:

How many Jews live in areas controlled by Hamas? 0

How many Muslims live as full citizens in Israel? ~1.6M or about 18%

Gaza? Male homosexuality is illegal

Israel? Host largest gay pride period in Asia each year.

Gaza? Illegal to sell land to Jews (punishable by death)
Israel? No religious restrictions on who you can sell land to.

Gaza: Regularly fire rockets at civilians, then use women/children as shields.
Israel: Target attacks on militants and system of bomb shelters for civilians.

Gaza? Married women need a husband's protection to travel. Women's rights severely restricted.
Israel? Women have equal rights in almost every area.

Gaza? Terrorists are celebrated and families often get paid.
Israel? Military members are often prosecuted for abuse of force.

Now which of those places sounds more like a liberal place (In the traditional sense)?

Yet the left consistently sides with one side while taking away any accountability from those responsible on that side.

That's why the left pretends like settlements (= Jews building houses) is a bigger obstacle to peace than the PA and Hamas regularly advocating for and supporting terrorism. It's just silly if you reasonably think about it, but that's their position.

The Palestinians could have their own state tomorrow. That's essentially what Israel set-up when they unilaterally withdrew from Gaza (& destroyed all the settlements there). But Hamas/PA aren't interested in that because then they could not blame their failures on Israel.

Having their own state would mean Hamas/PA would have to focus on improving the lives of Palestinians (who they have shown little regard for) instead of trying to kill Israelis. It would mean they'd have to give up terrorism and be responsible for their own economy.
