Why is Segregation Applauded in the Holy Land?

   Would it be segregation if you suggested a certain race shouldn't be putting up housing units in places they don't belong?
   Some don't think Israel should be building homes in Golan Heights, the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem. Spain and Italy have now joined other European Countries in warning their citizens not to invest in the settlements.
   I'm a little at a loss trying to understand what is wrong with the settlements. Is it because it is Jews who will be moving in?
   Now, if some country were to say, No blacks can move into our country, that would be considered racist, wouldn't it? So, how does this differ? I understand, of course, that the idea is for Jews to live in one part of the Holy Land and for Palestinians to live in the smaller spots. But, like I say, that seems like segregation, to me.
   Why not let both people live both in Israel, and in the Golan Heights, the West Bank, eastern Jerusalem -- and the Gaza Strip?
