    Is this straight up anti-Semitism? Should Airbnb become involved in the whole middle east conflict? Should Airbnb be boycotted?

    It's their way of protesting. And no, it is not anti-Semitism.

    Virtue signaling, or bowing to pc pressure.

    It's bad for business to associate with the squatters in Palestine.

    Of course it’s antisemitism. If they decided not to let black people in a particular city use their service what would it be?

    I love justified discrimination. It’s soooooo hillarious and perfectly acceptable to progressives. You just have to be sure to hate on the right types of people. White males, Asians, Jews. No big deal. Just don’t touch their pets, like minorities, LGBT, women, ect. It’s so adorable. :)

    ABNB is mega-sleazy, but this is certainly justified.

    Good to see. :)

    Except Airbnb still operates in Israel outside of the West Bank.

    It’s not anti-semitism at all. Airbnb clearly has no problem with Jews. They have a problem with ethnic cleansing.

    I was thinking it was Ronstar looking for more traction with the alt and post. If not, I suggest working together might be a plan of action :)

    Airbnb, Ronstar version :)

    If they were anti Semitic, they wouldn’t be operating in Israel at all. The only places where they aren’t operating are the illegal landgrab settlements the Israelis are building in their campaign of ethnic cleansing against the West Bank.

    I'd rather just post the articles but they want us to put in our own thoughts so i ask the questions to get the discussion started.

    My mother wants to visit Isreal before she dies. She's in decent health but 74. I hope to take her there. I guess we'll have to look for other accommodations.

    Ethnic cleansing is a pretty outrageous claim, but the settlements are outrageous as well.

    It is ethnic cleansing by the definitions established by the UN Charter, to which Israel is a signatory.

    By definition of the UN Charter, to which Israel is a signatory, their actions in the West Bank are ethnic cleansing.
