Israel does not actually have segregation by ethnicity. There are ethnic arabs living right next to ethnic jews all over israel and Israeli arabs are not barred from living anywhere. There is political separation of Palestinian arabs from Israelis in the territories, but this is not in Israel proper. Based on this, I am removing Israel from the list and putting "Palestinian territories" on the list instead. Bigglove 18:24, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, The palestinian territory article link goes to "israel apartheid" but the saudi goes to "human rights" and "religious freedom". could we be consistent? I'm not sure I care what we do, but could we apply the same decsion to both links? Bigglove 20:48, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate the effort at compromise here, but Allegations of Israeli apartheid do not refer to something called "political separation", whatever that might be. Segregation in the Occupied Territories is between Jews and everyone else. The standard to travel on bypass roads, get waved through checkpoints, live without fear of arbitrary house demolition, etc is purely ethnic. Yes, we know that those Palestinians who managed to avoid being expelled in '48 were eventually granted citizenship, and do not live under circumstances of apartheid today. But "that don't confront" the West Bank and Gaza. < eleland // talkedits > 18:51, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't take one to be an expert at semantics and linguistics to infer that synonyms to "political segregation" are "segregation according to politics" and "segregation of people according to political views". 'Politics' means everything and nothing. Apartheid in South Africa was politics. The White Australia policy was politics. The French social situation in the banlieues is politics. The Troubles is politics. So is sex and religious segregation in Saudi Arabia (more precisely, it is part of a policy to promote wahhabism in order to keep the House of Saud in power).
Now to "segregation according to political views". One could claim that gerrymandering is a form of political segregation, to separate Democrats from Republicans. As blacks vote predominantly Democrat, it results in many districts being overwhelmingly black. The resulting segregation (of the African-American ethnic group) is correlated, but not causated, by political segregation through gerrymandering. You have to make an argument along similar lines to maintain that the segregation in [(parts of) the region between the Mediterranean and the Jordan] is sui generis: that security policies such as the barrier and the check-points are to separate people holding the political view that it is legitimate to use violence against Jews from those who don't. It just so happens that almost all Palestinians have that political view. Since that would be an extremist opinion, it isn't so. Consequently, the political opinion that it is legitimate to use violence against Israelis cannot be the cause of the fact that only Palestinian live in areas to be protected from and only settlers in the area protected by those policies. --Victor falk 03:04, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies, but this dispute does not fit WP:3O guidelines and no third opinion can be provided, as there are already more than two editors involved. Perhaps you should try one of the WP:RFC processes. --Darkwind (talk) 00:00, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is this only for current examples? In old Transylvania there was physical segregation between Saxons, Hungarians, Romanians and Roma people. --Error (talk) 21:15, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It is not segregation, it is just the desire to set up a new state. The new state does not necessarily have to be ethnically prejudiced or prejudiced in any way. Therefore, I am removing it. --Yalens (talk) 21:30, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ghetto benches appears twice: once as Poland in the ethnic row, and once in the final row. Are both links to the same page necessary? 155.33.172.164 (talk) 19:24, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Does the White Australia policy belong on this list? It was a racially discriminatory immigration policy, but I don't see how it constitutes a type of "segregation". The racial segregation article says that:
Racially discriminatory immigration policies don't seem to fit that definition. Segregation is primarily about what happens to the ethnic/racial groups within a society, not about which groups are allowed to join it through immigration law. Mr248 (talk) 01:37, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
