Airbnb Bans Listings in Israeli Settlements on West Bank

Here you go my friend... with wiki links

...Following the occupation of the West Bank, which was then ruled by Jordan, by Israel in 1967, the Israeli right began to refer to the territories by their ...

Notice how wiki does not say "owned by Jordan"?

and more, also from wiki

...In 1947 the UN General Assembly recommended that the area that became the West Bank become part of a future Arab state, but this proposal was opposed by the Arab states at the time. In 1948, Jordan occupied the West Bank and annexed it in 1950. In 1967, Israel captured the West Bank from Jordan in the Six-Day War...

Do you know that one cannot occupy the land, 2 years later annex it and 17 years later give it to someone else?

 

Oh? show me, please?

 

That would mean that they do not operate in the surrounding region where the highest level of "cleansing" takes place.

 

The number of tourists visiting Israeli towns in Judea and Samaria spiked after Airbnb blacklisted Jewish communities in those areas.

The number of tourists visiting Israeli settlements in the West Bank reportedly doubled this past weekend following Airbnb’s decision to delist lodgings in the communities.

How about that?

Except they annexed it with the agreement of the population living there.

 

Show me Airbnb operating in ISIS controlled territory.

 

Since when the population is being consulted on whom they want to belong to? Do you approve of Crimea population voting on becoming Russia, instead of Ukraine? Do you ?

 

You mean the election with zero outside observers that has been ruled as massively rigged and that occurred at gunpoint?

 

No, I mean the referendum at which local populace was asked if they want to live in Russia or in Ukraine; is it not what you believe happened in Judea and Samaria

 

The people here showed zero resistance or objection to Jordanian rule yet they have violently objected to rule by Israel. What does that tell you?

 

It tells me, they know not what' good for them. But that's besides the point. Jordan occupied territory that was not theirs, annexed it and then in sight of imminent military defeat "gave" it to the people of non-existing "state". What does it tell you?

Landing... see you in a couple of hours

 

Show me where I claimed they are. There are, however, several areas in the region where is is not safe to walk down the street wearing a yarmulke, a cross, or the gay flag and Air BNB is available in that cleansed territory.

 

Which is the same as the government organized ethnic cleansing in the West Bank?

 

No. These countries have their own government and their land is cleansed of gay people, Jews, Christians, atheists, and those with an opinion of their own. Israel is the only tiny strip of land where it is safe.

 

Jordan gave those people the right to vote and participate in their country. Israel ethnic cleanses them when it pleases them so Jews can move in and live on that fresh ethnically cleansed land. What does that tell you?

 

Who gives a **** that Jordan gave something they did not own to someone they did have a right to give to?

Not Israel

 

Confronting them with facts. This should be fun!

Comprehensive Report Debunks "Peaceful" Gaza Protests

 

... A report on Tuesday from the Israeli research organization NGO Monitor observed that “Airbnb faced an intensive multi-year attack and threats of being included in the forthcoming UN HRC ‘blacklist,’ boycotts, and other forms of negative publicity. Indeed, the company acknowledged that offering listings in West Bank settlements was not illegal, meaning that its decision was the result of political pressure...

So, it was not some noble gesture or carrying about Palestinians or the drive to improve their lot or even the internal Airbnb policies... it were good old fashion threats from BDS and other pro-Palestinian crowd that did the trick. Good for you Airbnb for caving in.

I wonder if someone has threatened to blow up Airbnb headquarters?

 

And, as was totally expected... when brought to the light of day...

Airbnb Says It Won’t Implement Listing Removal Policy in Jewish Judea and Samaria

Indeed. In Israel, and in Judea, and in Samaria.
