It absolutely isn't.
Compared to Palestine, way more liberal.
In what way?
78% of israelis support gay marriage or same-sex relationship. Even among those israelis who identify as "religious", that number is 54%. Actually marrying is still a bit complicated in Israel, but people can work around that with a loophole. Meanwhile in Palestine, homosexual relations are outlawed, and being openly queer incites violence.
Israel has elections. Palestine does not.
Israel has freedom of press. Palestine does not.
Israel has legislative processes. Palestine does not.
Israel does fairly well in economic freedom. Palestine does not.
In Israel, protests are legal and are not brutally suppressed. In Palestine, protests and dissidents are brutally suppressed.
So in summary, in many many different ways. They are completely different worlds in terms of liberalism.
