Airbnb has said it will remove from its website all properties in Israeli settlements built on the occupied Palestinian territories in the West Bank, after years of accusations that the company was benefitting from rentals in the illegal outposts.

The Insidious Palestinian BDS movement claims another corporate coward. And their cravenness is rewarded with complaints that they didn't exclude East Jerusalem.

Hoping Jerusalem pulls Airbnb business license. And lets a nine year old local kid put up a webpage to take house reservations. Nobody needs Airbnb. It offers an entirely generic and very simplistic service that can be very easily replaced with a non- nazified local equivalent web page. Problem solved!

Good time for some Israelis to start a worldwide competitor to the AirBNBigots.

But nearly all the world voted to force Israel to return the Golan Heights to Syria.

I once looked into booking a room with AirBnB. All was fine until I got to the registration requirement that I pledge NOT to discriminate against LGBTQRWXYZ. As a renter!

Yes, the Left is SO tolerant!

“rentals in the illegal outposts” They are not illegal outposts (that is a UN term), but they are “disputed outposts”, that is a legal term. Words are important.

We’ll see if some FReepers are going to put their big mouth where their money is. One comes to mind, but I’m not pinging the asshat.
