Airbnb and Booking .com, as well as Expedia are listed in the UN database of businesses implicated in Israel’s illegal colonial settlement enterprise. All three companies offer rentals in illegal Israeli colonial settlements built on stolen Palestinian land.

The BDS movement calls for the immediate escalation of pressure campaigns against Airbnb, Booking. com and Expedia. This includes boycotts when reasonable alternatives exist, as well as lobbying, peaceful disruptions, social media pressure, strategic litigation, etc.

There are always reasonable alternatives to these sites. I can't fathom any circumstance where there wouldn't be. Do people forget travel agencies? Direct communication?

Having a quick glance at this article, they are saying to use https://Booking.com, which is contrary to the main post.

I have stopped using https://booking.com, Expedia, airbnb due to their low ethics by operating in occupied Palestinian land. Pls look for alternatives.

I can remember when Air B&B were caught out and promised to stop this. Only a few years ago.
