With his UNvote does this not say that the people of Israel do not have the right to live where they are not wanted or welcome? It could be the only way to achieve peace between the people of Israel and the Palestinians is segregation but is that the best answer we can come up with.

Who are the Palestinians? There is not now and never has been a nation of Palestine. Where are it borders? The term is meaningless.

It's not segregation. It's about preventing land grabs. Israelis don't allow Palestinians to just move wherever they want to. And it's not like the Israeli settlers are really living with the Palestinoians. They're just living in land in the occupied territories.
If we're classifying this as segregation then it's Israel which wants it. After all, the whole purpose of Israel is to be a Jewish state. It can't be a Jewish state if it's mostly non-Jews living there. If you combine the Palestinian population in the Occupied Territories with the Arab population of Israel then you've got more non-Jews than Jews. So, to keep Israel a Jewish state they've got to draw the borders to exclude the majority of Arabs. So the question isn't about segregation vs not segregation. Instead it's about who is going to control how much land. The most extreme Israeli nationalists want Israel to incorporate all of the Occupied Territories into their country and force the Arabs living there to move to neighboring countries. Less extreme expansionists just want to see Israel grab as much land as they can before any future peace which results in an independent Palestinian state.
