BOYCOTT AIR BNB FOR ANTI-SEMITISM
SEE: https://www.jta.org/2018/11/23/news-opinion/israeli-settler-sues-airbnb-dropping-west-bank-listings
EXCERPTS:
"An Israeli settler sued the Airbnb hosting platform over alleged discrimination over its decision to drop listings in West Bank settlements from its vacation rental website."
"The lawsuit, which cites Israel’s anti-discrimination laws, was filed
with the Jerusalem District Court on Thursday on behalf of Ma’anit
Rabinovich, The Jerusalem Post reported Friday.
'The law in Israel forbids discrimination based on the place where
you live, and what Airbnb has done is by all means discrimination based
on the place where you live,' said attorney Aviel Flint, a partner in
the law firm Yossi Levy & Co. which is representing Rabinovich."

EXCERPTS: The San Francisco-based company said this week it was removing listings of around 200 homes in settlements after hearing criticism from people who “believe companies should not profit on lands where people have been displaced”. Through her attorneys, Ma’anit Rabinovich from the West Bank settlement of Kida, who offers guest room rentals, said the move “represents especially grave, offensive and outrageous discrimination”. Rabinovich claimed 15,000 shekels ($2,573) in personal damages. The class action lawsuit would seek an as yet unspecified sum on behalf of others in the same situation, according to court papers presented at Jerusalem District Court.

"The Yesha Council of settlements said in response that "a company that
has no qualms about renting apartments in dictatorships around the world
and in places that have no relationship with human rights is singling
out Israel. This can only be a result of anti-Semitism or surrendering
to terrorism – or both." "In response, Israel's Tourism Minister Yariv Levin instructed the
ministry to restrict the company's operations across the country."
AIR BNB DELISTS JEWISH HOMES FOR RENT IN JUDEA, SAMARIA; LISTS HOMES IN TIBET

Airbnb decided to kowtow to the anti-Semitic BDS movement by
delisting Jewish homes in the Terrorist Occupied Territories in Judea
and Samaria.
Airbnb claims that it's removing homes in disputed areas, but it isn't removing Muslim homes in disputed areas, only Jewish ones.
This move is all the more hypocritical since Airbnb not only maintains Chinese language listings of homes in Tibet, but even lists Tibet as being in China.
This is typical of corporations and organizations that flirt with BDS when it comes to Israel, but bow to the People's Republic of China.
It's also a foolish one.
Airbnb has been having some problems in New York City. It's now made an enemy out of pro-Israel elected officials and organizations who should, make the shady dot com pay the price for aligning itself with an anti-Semitic movement.
