Airbnb says: No Jews allowed. The apartment-sharing service has sided against Israel by banning and delisting the apartments of peaceful Jewish civilians living in Judea and Samaria. And that’s not even the worst part.
Nor is the worst part that Airbnb is helping propel the destructive myth that Jews would abandon their claim to the disputed West Bank if only there were enough international pressure.
No, the worst part is that Airbnb has singled out Jews, and only Jews, as the one group in the world that is worthy of such censure. That’s what makes its boycott a naked act of corporate anti-Semitism.

I am appalled that Airbnb would support BDS. I would love to see that company go out of business just for their taking advantage of vacancies by greedy and irresponsible residents who should have more responsibility toward their neighbors, but don't. And now Airbnb has put themselves in an anti-Israel position, which leaves me puzzled. What would be the advantage of doing this to them? Are they just that stupid? Or is it just another manifestation of their uncaring behavior?
Most corporations are amoral, but will signal their virtue as a kind of protection money, avoiding being bullied by the fascist left with their brown shirt tactics.
Sometimes the answer is simpler: they're idiots.
I don’t agree with ALL of your sentiments. (some of them, maybe)
I considered putting my house for rent on AirBnB since a friend of mine had done it.
She was careful about who she selected to rent it because she owned it and wanted it taken care of. If it was only partiers who would wreck it and bring down the neighborhood it would not be this successful. The only people I had come look at my house were executives.
1. Most towns have zoning laws that would classify an Airbnb rental as a "hotel." Not only would this be prohibited in most residential areas, but it brings a whole additional set of health department regulations as well.
2. Condominiums and co-ops are governed by a master deed that would almost certainly prohibit the use of these dwellings as short-term rentals.
3. Every apartment lease I've seen has strict provisions against subletting without the approval of the landlord.
what is BDS?
This is how I am fighting back against BDS and the anti-semites: by taking out a subscription to Lev Haolam.
It’s a subscription-based service in which, for my contribution, I get a box every month from Israel, full of Israeli products (most of them brands that can’t be bought in the USA: “honey, tea, oils, wine, dried fruits, organic cosmetics, Judaica, and much more”), in support of small businesses in the land — businesses targeted by the hateful BDS movement and their evil co-conspirators.
It’s always a surprise list of products and includes a newsletter with unfiltered news from Israel. It’s not charity, it is a way to support small businesses in Israel by buying their products.
It costs about 100 dollars a month, subscription can be cancelled at any time. I’ve been doing it about a year and I highly recommend it.
No, I have no affiliation with any of these businesses or Lev Haolam, I just LOVE ISRAEL.
Maybe they want more Moslems to use their service.
BTW, didn’t Jesus teach, preach and minister in Judaea and Samaria, among other places? Maybe there is more than one demographic being targeted here.
It’s an evil anti-semitic movement popular with terrorists, far-left radical American politicians, and Islamists.
And a wide collection of other idiots.
ZOT newbie troll
Open pit goat roasting in the living room after a good old fashioned halal killing in the dining room would probably put that demographic on a blacklist.
Or disregard if you’re just defining BDS — maybe you’re not a troll
It is illegal in the US to discriminate by national origin in advertising for housing. Anyone Jewish should be able to get an easy 100k by filing a complaint.
Legally Airbnb is simply refusing to do business in an overseas area. There is no law saying Airbab has to operate in the West Bank.
Thank you. Consider coming to Israel to visit. Israel is a VERY tourist-friendly country, and people here genuinely like to see visitors from elsewhere. You will feel very much at home here, regardless of your religion and ethnic background.

Why is it that the left infests EVERYTHING even AirBNB unbelievable.
Someday...! I have friends that have been — they all have given rave reviews — someday I do hope to visit the Holy land.
This is the best promotion of Israel I’ve seen lately — don’t know if you’re familiar with it. Very inspiring!
“I AM ISRAEL is an epic film which will take you on a soaring journey through the Land of the Bible, and introduce you to Jewish men and women whose very lives are a testimony to the promises of God. Filmed in crystal clear 4K, narrated by John Rhys-Davies (Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings), and directed by award-winning documentary filmmaker David Kiern, I AM ISRAEL brings to life the inspirational story of the Holy Land like you’ve never seen before.”
