....the land promised to Jews (Balfour) as their homeland. In 1922, Palestine was divided into 2 administrative districts in which Trans-Jordan was formed. So the Jewish part of 1920 Palestine is only 22% of the original Palestine.

I assume you favor Israel granting citizenship to folks with hostile, genocidal intent towards Jews and their state. That explains why you won't name even one liberal Palestinian with genuine liberal values. It's because the cause you support is heinously regressive. The Palestinians you support see Israel as their enemy. The ones I support do not.
