Airbnb boycotts Jews

Airbnb has joined the BDS movement, whose aim is to destroy Israel, by boycotting Jewish listings. Officially Airbnb refuses to list houses for rent in Jewish West Bank towns. It claims that, “We spent considerable time speaking to various experts, including those who have criticized our previous approach, about this matter. As a global platform operating in 191 countries and regions and more than 81,000 cities, we must consider the impact we have and act responsibly.”

Apart from the historical inaccuracy of “occupied territories” (disputed territories is more accurate), Airbnb is antisemitic because it has no problem with doing business with Arabs in the same disputed territories, as well as East Jerusalem, which was brutally cleansed of Jews and their houses given to Arabs, or doing business in occupied territories such as Turkish occupied Northern Cyprus, Moroccan occupied Western Sahara, Russian occupied Crimea, South Osetia and Nagorno-Karabakh, or Chinese occupied Tibet.

This makes Airbnb’s claim hollow and is by definition antisemitic.
