Bravo!
Every vacation I have booked over the past two years has been through Airbnb or one of its subsidiaries. Never Again.
Beverly Hills urges boycott of Airbnb over settlement listings removal
The city council unanimously passes a resolution condemning the home rental giant’s decision to ban 200 listings in Jewish settlements in the West Bank, emphasizing ‘the disease’ called ‘Jew hatred’ is what stands behind San Francisco-based company’s move.

The city council of Beverly Hills in California voted unanimously last week to withdraw apartment listings for the city from Airbnb after the home rental giant decided to remove some 200 ads for accommodation units located in Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
The city council’s decision is part of a wider resolution condemning the San Francisco-based company’s “deplorable actions.”
“On behalf of our residents, this unanimous resolution reflects the city council’s ongoing commitment to Israel and to exposing hatred anywhere it exists,” Beverly Hills Mayor Julian Gold stressed in an official statement.
The city’s Vice Mayor John A. Mirisch added that Beverly Hills is determined to fight “the disease” called “Jew hatred.”
“Airbnb is not welcome in Beverly Hills as long as its policies are based on anti-Jewish double standards. We can try to inoculate others against this malady but we also must protect ourselves against its effects,” vented Mirisch.
The statement went on to emphasize that Airbnb’s decision stems from anti-Semitism and therefore will not be tolerated.
“Airbnb’s decision to remove all listings in Jewish settlements in the West Bank demonstrates hatred, prejudice, ignorance and hypocrisy,” the city council resolution stated. “Airbnb’s actions are antithetical to the values that we hold dear in Beverly Hills … prejudice and discrimination based on religion have no place in our community, country and world.”
The resolution then presents a list of demands and actions to be taken by the city council in order to combat the company’s “discriminatory” decision to remove listings for Israeli West Bank settlements.
Additional Videos“The City of Beverly Hills hereby calls upon Airbnb to correct this act of disrespect to the land of Israel and restore its original services immediately; In the event that Airbnb does not stop, we call upon all civilized people across the globe to boycott Airbnb until such time as they desist from these despicable anti-Semitic actions,” the resolution concluded.

Another positive statement establishing the fact that the conduct set forth in this article accurately identifies and places the entire BDS movement into the continuing actions of anti-Semitism. Underlying it all was probably some group from the Arab supporting world that prompted this clearly anti-Semitic action by this company. I continue to find this world-wide anti-Semitism to be without justification; yet, when the Arabs commit their continuing acts of violence, does the world recognize that conduct for what it is, I think not. History will record that the worlds failure to both see the reality of Arab Islamic intentions and to fail to act to stop it resulted in a monumental conflagration, when it is likewise clear that those of the Jewish world did not contribute one iota to that happenstance.

Obama and Democrats supported the BDS Movement and condemned Trump’s recognition of the State of Israel and move of our Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Obama and Democrat’s were silent when hundreds of Palestinians and anti-Semites protested in downtown Miami as they chanted and waved signs that read, “Jews Back To The Ovens!” President Obama earned his nickname, “Divider and Chief.”

We must apply the same boycott to Facebook, Twitter, Turkey, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, CNN, Washington Post & so on.

No one is surprised on this site or others not fearing to speak the truth about the rise of anti-Semitic/Israel sentiment in the Land of Nod or Netherworld. Reiterating, Ban Islam’s post, it is time to boycott those propagating anti-Semitic vitriol, banning those who dare speak for the State of Israel’s right to exist and ally themselves with Judaism and Israel. Once again, anti-Semitism is reminiscent of Nazism’s persecution, and the call for execution en-masse of Jews by the Leftist-Fascists. Beckoning for the eradication of Jewry and The State of Israel from those professing humanity, enlightenment and culture, the Democrats and others of its kind. They may not say it openly, but that is their ultimate ambition.
Hollywood is rife with this contagion of Jew-Hatred, a viper-pit of deadly intent towards Israel and Jews. One would hope that G-d will one day give this urban breeding-ground of anti-Semitism a taste of their toxic and bilious hypocrisy or more.

For such a liberal city, surrounded by an uber leftist city (Los Angeles), to come out with this pro-Israel action, is really surprising. Perhaps there may be some hope yet even for these enclaves of out of control leftism. Maybe even some of the Beverly Hills types are now seeing that things have gone way too far and enough is enough!

Just what Airbnb wants; they’re likely contacting the ACLU of Southern California to sue Beverly Hills over this. I can see a judge easily overriding the will of the Council.

If Judea & Samaria are excluded from the airbnb service then north Cyprus, Nagorno Karabakh, Abkhazia, Crimea, Tibet, Western Sahara (occupied territory by Morocco), Myanmar, Falkland islands, fc’n Yemen, Ceuta & Melilla (colonial Spanish enclaves in Morocco), Gibraltar, should also be excluded, as they are disputed conflict zones as well…
airbnb are spineless COWARDS and if they don’t reverse this targeted assault on Judea & Samaria (signaling out this conflict from ALL other conflicts around the world), they will emerge as Antisemitic

If you use or list with airbnb you are racist and anti-semetic. You are hateful.
