Palestinians have citizenship in Israel, this has been repeated over and over again. These Palestinians can vote for who they want, speak out against anything they want and live a free life, gay, straight or whatever. This is probably better than anywhere else in the Arab world.
You are confused with the occupied territories, which would not be occupied if these places dedicated themselves to peaceful relations with Israel.

No coincidence at all, such a bizarre thing to ask. What you are describing is from the result of a massive war in the region, everyone against Israel. Israel has made multiple offers to resolve the conflict but it is purely the Palestinians who have backed away from reaching agreements.
If what you think happened is Israel became a nation and kicked out every non jew, that is false and part of the BS racist and hateful narrative being spread throughout much of the world. I am sure this is obvious in the academic world you are a part of.
