They live next to this chunk of land, because Israel took it at gunpoint. They had no right to do so, and they had no right to displace its occupants. In its current form, Israel has no right to exist, much less defend itself. It is an occupying power - morally, it is not much different from the Third Reich rolling into Warsaw, and corralling its Jewish residents into walled ghettos.

It is absolutely an apartheid offensive [1]. Palestinians have no freedom of movement in their own land. They are living in the world's largest internment camp.
