Interesting that they're being singled out but not unexpected. Does AirBnB operate in China, Saudi Arabia, or Turkey or do they just consider their atrocities less severe?
The issue isn't that Israel does bad things, so AirBnB is punishing Israel by denying unrelated listings in Israel, it is the settlements themselves are viewed as violations of the Fourth Geneva Convention, and AirBnB is declining to participate in and profit from war crimes.
This statement _in_the_article_ nods to that idea. I think the statement is more than fair.
like do we want settlers listing their apartments on Airbnb or not? if not then this is the right move regardless of airbnb's policies elsewhere
I think all totalitarian and contested land should be delisted, but this might be a "testing the waters" act.
