The difference is obvious.
The settlements are on Palestinian territory, not Israeli territory, so are not Israel's affair.
They are violation of international law, and an embarrassement to the US and the UN, for not totally dismantling them long ago.

It is similar to if Mexico would be to start tearing down buildings in LA, and start building Mexican settlements there.
