Airbnb's corporate anti-Semitism on West Bank

Jerusalam -- If you live in the occupied West Bank in a Jewish settlement and your name is Mohammed, Mahmoud, Azziz, or Omar, and you need a couple of extra shekels to get by, you might try renting out your home, or even a room in it with Airbnb.

But if your name is Rubin, or Abraham, Isaac, Yitzhak, or David, Airbnb will not let you use their service. They might as well advertise "No Jews Allowed."

The problem is that most world powers are anti-Zionist and consider it illegal for Jews to take up land where Palestinians seek statehood.

An Airbnb website statement read:

"We concluded that we should remove listings in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank that are at the core of the dispute between Israelis and Palestinians."

The website did not specify when the anti-Semitism will take effect. But you don't have to be Jewish to know anti-Semitism when you see it. And you don't have to be Jewish to be angry enough to boycott any company that is anti-Semitic or anti-any-race.

The Jewish people are smart--they will likely come up with a better alternative and Airbnb will eventually suffer financially for their decision.
