This shows how much elections matter. Airbnb is advancing and norming a racist, genocidal movement.This is exactly how horrors such as the Holocaust begin. First the delegitimization of the Jewish state and the dehumanization of the Jews. The boycott, divest and sanction Israel movement is no different from the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses.
The German boycott of Jewish businesses in the lead-up to the Holocaust was the direct antecedent to the whole “boycott Israel” movement.
Florida Governor to Blacklist Airbnb for Blacklisting Israeli Settlements
Story continues below advertisement
By David Israel, Jewish Press, 10 Shevat 5779 – January 16, 2019 0
Florida’s new Governor, Ron DeSantis, on Tuesday announced he considers blacklisting the short-term hospitality service Airbnb in his state, in response to the company’s exclusion of Judea and Samaria Israeli settlements from their list.
State law prohibits Florida from dealing with companies that boycott Israel.

“We have a moral obligation to oppose the Airbnb policy,” DeSantis said, stressing that “it does target Jews specifically, I think that is wrong.”
According to the governor, Florida’s Board of Administration will determine by the end of January whether Airbnb engages in discrimination against Israel, and if the ruling is that it does, the state would impose sanctions.
Airbnb, which lists 45,000 hosts in Florida, on Tuesday denied the accusation that it is anti-Semitic, saying it has “unequivocally rejected” the Boycott, Divest and Sanction (BDS) movement and remains “deeply committed” to its thousands of hosts west of the green line border.
According to the Miami Herald, being sanctioned by Florida State would jeopardize the memorandum of understanding that permits Airbnb to operate legally in Miami-Dade County, and prohibit the state’s pension fund from investing in companies listed by Airbnb. That last one would make it extremely difficult for Airbnb to go public.
“That would not be good, if you’re already on Florida’s hit list before you even got off the ground,” Governor DeSantis commented.
The new governor announced on Tuesday that he is about to visit Israel and that he is going to add a permanent feature to the state budget – a $2 million in annual security funding for Florida’s Jewish day schools.

A real true American politician. Watch for the usual violent reaction from the “religion of peace” and the hateful CAIR.

Freedom for the Anti-mosque protester who got a prison sentence of 15 years jail.
Even if Trump superficially but inconsistently supports Israel, his dehumanizing delegitimization of Pamela Geller with the words: “Why is she insulting everybody?” is unacceptable for the position of president.
Furthermore his dedication for Saudi Arabia*, his selling of weapons to Saudi Arabia & new Muhammadist Nigeria & his promotion of social media that is censoring Non-muhammadists in a dehumanizing, delegitimizing way is unacceptable & counterproductive. He also still funds Fatah & Muhammadist organisations as Pakistan.
Twitter is partly owned by Muhammadist tyranny Saudi Arabia & Facebook is censored by for example Hamas-CAIR.
Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia, education institutions & government-officials systemically censor Non-muhammadist progressive thought & should not be promoted by the government.
* Africans are enslaved, castrated, divorced, beaten & killed, atheists tortured & killed, girls clitodirectomized & raped today in Saudi Arabia & Africans are enslaved in the UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, North-Sudan, Libya (surge), Algeria (surge), Mauritania (20 percent), Niger, Mali, Somalia, Nigeria in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks (see Wikiislam).
That anti-mosque guy was a 2-time felon and that was his third strike. He could have gotten 25-to-life (the hate crime enhancement was done to make this his third felony strike – the first 2 were separate grand larceny events).
Seems like those countries you mentioned are “Muslim majority”. They are also breeding grounds for Islamic terrorists and travel should be banned.

Florida will be sued and lose. State governments do not have rights against citizens under the Constitution. Airbnb will sue Florida and have the case heard in San Francisco. This is both a First Amendment and a Commerce Clause issue…Florida can’t regulate a California company that has no brick-and-mortar presence in Florida.

They are Pro-jihadi scumbags.
Left/Liberals are commies who support illegals/jihadis !
I am 100% Republican and prob. agree with 99% on here on every subject except this. The Israelis are a cancer on this planet. They hate us read the Talmud. And especially the protocols of zion. READ THEM THEN TELL ME THEY ARE A HOAX WITH A STRAIGHT FACE. YOU would have to be RETARDED. READ THEM. They certainly don’t want you to!
If anything is retarded and a cancer on the planet you should look in your mirror. The Jews’ contributions to the scientific, technological, artistic and cultural richness of our world is out of all proportion to their numbers. Just look at their list
of Nobel prizes. The world would be a poorer place without them. I am not a Jew BTW
It’s a paid troll….block it and move on….Pamela -a Jew- draws a lot of this scum of the earth trolls….9 out of ten times the poster is a Muslim sitting up in Canada posting Jew hatred in America….the Hungarian and Killary hired 800 of them in the spring of 2016 to troll here in America…especially Pamela’s site.
Ironic that you are here pretending to be a Republican…on the website of a Jewish woman…and spewing hate of the Jews…you have to be a Hungarian Billionaire/Killary paid, lying troll…
and the only “cancer” on this planet are you Muslims…BLOCKED
“And especially the protocols of zion.” ? ? ?
Still reading that Marxist dribble man . . . . I suspect you are a liar of the magnatude of MoooHAMed ! ! !
How many Israeli / Jewish terrorists have executed or murdered someone today? Yesterday?? How many Jewish rape gangs are in the news? The Koran meets every single definition of hate literature. You cannot be a Republican and hate Jews. RINO??
OMG! You are retarded if you don’t know those protocols are fake BS. Sheesh, it always stuns me when people are taken in by a mindset that is just as medieval as i$Iam.
They will not allow listings from what AirBnB considers”occupied territory” .Remember Airbnb has no problem whatsoever allowing people in the Turkish occupied part of Cyprus to list or in other disputed regions. Only the Jews are treated that way by Airbnb.
So? That’s not an AMERICAN issue, and Florida will be sued for violating the First Amendment and the Commerce Clause…international operations can only be regulated by Congress, or in this case, Israel. I don’t expect Florida to win.
….those are for the anti-Israel people who go there to meet with groups inside Israel who are trying to destroy Israel….just like here in the US….we have people coming here from countries that are plotting our destruction….

Time for the UN High Commissioner on Refugees to resettle the Arabs in the west bank and Gaza. In 1947 we resettled 20 million Germans, there are no camps on the Polish German border, and we resettled 15 million from the partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947 as well.
Time to send those Arabs to live with the other Arabs in Egypt and Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

Pamela Geller tells her own story of how she became one of the world's foremost activists for the freedom of speech,
individual rights, and equality of rights for all. "It's my story, it's what happens when someone fights for freedom in America today,"
Geller explained.
Today Islamic supremacists are demanding more accommodation of Islamic principles
and practices than ever, and daily growing more aggressive in eroding our freedoms – with politically
correct public officials only too happy..
