Template talk:Segregation by type

message: 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)
replies: text: I've changed it back. What were called bantustans in South Africa, we're just calling "territories" here. Segregation in the territories is due to Israel's policies, which is what that article we're linking to is about (actually, it's the larger segregation between Israel proper and what it terms "territories" which is a more clear cut case). This goes too far in giving into the language of the opposing view. They aren't even really Palestinian territories -- they are Israeli territories containing Palestinians. -- 146.115.58.152 02:56, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I disagree with the non-reality based statements above, especially where you say that palestinian territories don't exisit!  I'm sure it is NOT worth having this discussion with an anon editor.  Take care, Bigglove 22:21, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

message: 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)

thread_title:  links not consistent 

message: 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)
replies: text: I don't have much time to talk now, and the above contains so much inciting language that I don't really know how to reply.  "ethnic separation" sounds racist.  the unfortuante separation that exists is not based on racism or ethnicity.  it is based on security.  do you have a better term than "ethnic segregation" to suggest?  Bigglovetalk 19:26, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wait, so Israel seizes land, illegally settles people on that land, and then the seizure is retroactively justified on grounds of security for the settlers? And I don't even know what "inciting language" is supposed to be, besides a really lame attempt to bring anti-semitism into the discussion as usual.  < eleland // talkedits > 19:08, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Victor, OK, I see what you mean.  I just think ethnic doesn't really capture it.  There is no separation because of anything to do with "ethnicity" in a racist sense.  There is separation for the protection of lives.  Could we try to come up with a better term?  I'm chaning "israel" to "palestinian territories; on the template in the meantime.  It is very very well documented that Palestinians who are Israeli Arabs within Israel have a much higher level of human rights that Palestinians in Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, or Egypt, so it seems like a slur to have the link say, "Israel."  Eleland, I don't this is a good place for the discussion of the 67 war, the 73 war, or the UN resolutions which were made at the end of each one, but I find your analysis of these things, to be quite one sided and not really a credit to Wikipedia on this basis.  Bigglovetalk 03:49, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Who said "racist"? I didn't. Ethnic segregation is often based (US segregation, Rhodesia, etc), but not necessarily, on a racist policy. Example: France. Racism is definitely a major factor, but the ethnic segregation in the banlieues is not due to a racist policy. I'm fine with "Palestinian territories". As the allegations of Israeli apartheid also concern Israel proper, I add it under religious segregation since it concerns (eventual) discrimination between Jews and non-Jews (cf Malaysia). --Victor falk 04:42, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This template (I think) is about segregation.  Is this the same as discrimination?  I think it is different.  I also am not sure that you can say muslims are discriminated against in Israel any more than secular jews are or christians are.  I feel that religious segregation is more like what goes on in places like saudi arabia where specifically non-muslims are or have been barred from certain areas, from visas, etc, on religious grounds.  Bigglovetalk 16:47, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Obviously not, or else there wouldn't be two different words. But they are closely interrelated, ie synonyms. Depending on your sources, some will list them as synonyms while others do not. Note that the article is about, among other things (such as eventual ethnic segregation in the palestinian territories), allegations of religious segregation in Israel proper. --Victor falk 05:42, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no way to mark a template NPOV, unfortuantely, but I feel that this is a very POV inclusion.  Bigglovetalk 14:46, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

message: 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)
replies: text: It is a related topic. Historically, separatism has been used for segregationist ends: the Bantustans of South Africa immediately come to mind, c.f. White nationalism, Republic of New Afrika. Many people have and continue to object to separatism from an integrationist perspective. Therefore, I am restoring it.

thread_title:  Ghetto benches 

message: 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:
:Racial segregation is the systematic separation of people into racial or other ethnic groups in daily life. Racial segregation can amount to the international crime of apartheid and a crime against humanity under the Statute of the International Criminal Court. Segregation can involve the spatial separation of the races, and mandatory use of different institutions, such as schools and hospitals by people of different races. Specifically, it may be applied to activities such as eating in restaurants, drinking from water fountains, using public toilets, attending schools, going to movies, riding buses, renting or purchasing homes or renting hotel rooms
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)
