Is AirBnb anti-Semitic?

Well-known accommodation finding platform AirBnb has been in trouble in recent years after it delisted adverts that were in the West Bank within the illegally created jewish settlements after reviewing whether they should support the local economies of such violent gentile-hating jews.

The response from international jewry was exactly what you’d expect.

A lot of ‘OY VEYS’, allegations of ‘anti-Semitism’ – because as we all know if you disagree with anything a jew says then you must want to gas them – and… well… law suits.

In terms of the law suits they have been launched by jews in the United States (1) as well as the then Israeli Minister of Justice Ayelet Shaked. (2) The reason for these is simple enough in that the economies of the illegal Israeli settlements are notoriously weak and heavily dependent on niche sources of income such as cannabis farming (3) and tourism. (4)

In other words: the illegal Israeli settlements need the income that AirBnb listings can generate to keep their economies going.

That is quite a motivation.

The charge of ‘anti-Semitism’ made by numerous jewish individuals and organizations is just as transparently an attempt to stop this crippling economic catastrophe for the illegal settlements with ‘arguments’ being made for why AirBnb’s actions are ‘anti-Semitic’ based purely on their say so not on reasoning let alone evidence. When they do offer ‘evidence’ – as with ‘Times of Israel’ columnist Avi Bell’s piece – it is to cite nonsensical laws making criticism of Israel ipso facto ‘anti-Semitic’ on the statute books of various US states that they have effectively bought using networks of jewish political donors and influence to dodge the question of evidence and logic entirely.

Other good examples of this are Jonathan Greenblatt’s letter on behalf of the Anti-Defamation League to AirBnb accusing the organizations of ‘anti-Semitism’ – which is hypocritical as has been pointed out by the ‘Jewish Daily Forward’ – (6) and that by one Etan Neiman of ‘The Commentator’. (7)

Despite producing reams of gilded waffle about ‘anti-Semitism’ neither Greenblatt nor Neiman suggest any one reason why AirBnb removing the illegal jewish settlements in the West Bank from its listings is in any way, shape or form ‘anti-Semitic’.

They instead treat it as an established fact in a piece of typical chutzpah.

To put it another way: if you can’t evidence your case then you brazenly claim it is the case and then shriek hysterically at anyone who dares question your unsupported claim.

Neither Greenblatt nor Neiman allege that the state-sponsored organization ‘Birthright Israel’ is ‘anti-Semitic’, but yet it explicitly does not include illegal jewish settlements on its tours. (8) They studiously ignore this glaring problem with their reasoning and instead focus on trying to tie up legislative time in the United States to get President Donald Trump and the US Congress of all things to punish AirBnb in order to force them to relent. (9) While the Israeli government has moved to triple the taxes that AirBnb pays in Israel in retaliation to company’s pro-Palestinian stand. (10) This is despite the fact that it has emerged that only 72 AirBnb hosts run over 2,220 AirBnb rentals in Tel Aviv having created a virtual monopoly on the market. (11)

It is time that the American people saw Israel for it is: a fetid swamp of corruption, crime and hatred of non-jews that exists to guilt-trip the American people into giving it as much of its money as is possible.

AirBnb should be lauded not punished for de-platforming the odious jewish troglodytes that are squatting on Palestinian land in the West Bank.
