Airbnb’s decision is discriminatory, not racist. Airbnb

Go ahead and do that. Let's see what happens when Jews boycott Airbnb. As if Jews don't have any financial clout.

Who side are you on?

Yeah that's where I want to stay, at an Airbnb in the West Bank. So cosy. So quaint. So safe.

Is Israel a race? It's a nation, with a foreign policy. If you dissent that foreign policy, it's not about race.

Who vacations in the West Bank?😟

Resolution 465 stated that “all measures taken by Israel to change the physical character, demographic composition, institutional structure or status of the Palestinian occupied since 1967, including Jerusalem, or any part thereof, have no legal validity!

Does that mean foreigners should never jump fences to settle in places that don't belong to them?

Good for Airbnb! These illegal settlers shouldn't be able to profit off of the stolen land of Palestinians. I'm so proud of the people who are working tirelessly to shine a light on the apartheid state of Israel.

Those Israelis settlements are illegal af and because Isreal throws the word racism around the media gives them a free pass to illegally seize land.

Maybe Airbnb should continue to book and receive payments for stays at settlement locations... and send all the revenue to Palestinians. BDS
