As to the second part, I really think you need to calibrate the meaning of a functioning liberal democracy with the meaning of the word atrocity. They're at opposition, and your continued use of them together speaks volumes.

There's no point in arguing conjecture, so not sure why you brought it up?
When Israel and their surrounding neighbors had much more comparable military capabilities the Jewish state was plunged into a war by being attacked from multiple sides. I can understand the skepticism shown by Israel when the argument that a more militarized Palestine would lead to peace is presented.
Is your suggestion then that Israel is not a liberal democracy or that they haven't committed any atrocities in this ongoing saga?
