It is most likely related to the fact that the Muslim nations that surround
Israel cannot come to peace with the concept of a democratic, sovereign
nation, with a vibrant economy, gender equality, and religious freedom,
largely populated and controlled by Jews, in their neighborhood.

What were Israelis and Palestinians fighting over?

What are sources of conflict between the PLO and the Zionists?
The sources of conflict between the PLO, the Palestinian Liberation Organization which has now been subsumed into the official State of Palestine government, and the Zionists, which have now been subsumed into the State of Israel and its general supporters, are no different than those between the Israelis and Palestinians as general groups. As a result, it makes more sense to read the Related Question which discusses the causes of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.
What is problem between Muslims and Jews in Israel?
Jews and Muslims in Israel have equal rights and responsibilities with one exception, Muslim Israelis do not have to serve in the Israeli Defense Forces whereas Israeli Jews do. Unfortunately, Israel is not a perfect country and as a result, a number of Muslim communities in Israel are underfunded and under-resourced. Some have compared Jerusalem to Washington DC where the Jewish communities live in relative affluence or as Middle Class and the Muslim communities are much more impoverished. This does create issues in trying to make sure funds are allocated between communities properly. There are also certain tracts of land held in reserve for Jewish settlement in Israel that Muslims cannot purchase or develop in order to keep certain areas of Israel in Jewish hands. Muslims and Liberal Jews are fighting to bring equality to these issues. If the question is referring to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (which is beyond the borders of Israel and into the Occupied Palestinian Territories), the causes of the conflict are outlined in the Related Question below: What are the causes of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict? It is worth noting that not all Israelis are Jews and not all Palestinians are Muslims.
Are the Israelis and the Palestinians fighting about Gaza?
It is important to note that the military/paramilitary conflict is between Israelis and Palestinians, not Jews and Palestinians since the Israeli Army contains more than just Jews. Israelis and Palestinians are still fighting because neither group has achieved their objective. The Israeli objective is to have a dominant state in the region, living in peace with its neighbors, and with borders that are secure. The Palestinian objective is to have an independent government, international relations, and freedom of movement for its inhabitants. Unfortunately, both of these objectives are greatly expanded by fanatics on both sides who see the only possible implementation of these ideals being one in which the other party cannot exist or exists in such a weakened and defeated state that there can be no real peace. This is why the conflict continues. To see the causes and desires fueling the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict in more detail, see the related question.
Why are the Israelis and the Jews fighting?
There are isolated skirmishes between Religious Zionists and the Israeli Army. These come as a result of the Religious Zionists belief that Jews are promised all of the territory of the Land of Israel by God and therefore Palestinians are not entitled to any of it whereas the Israeli government has made concessions to the Palestinian Authority for peace. However, most of the confrontations are not between Israelis and Jews, but between Israelis (who are themselves mostly Jewish) and Palestinians. This conflict is described in more detail in the Related Question.
