B’nai B’rith commends Airbnb for rescinding, as part of a court settlement, its decision to de-list properties in the West Bank.

In November, the vacation rental company announced it would de-list Israeli properties located in Israeli settlements in the West Bank. This highly discriminatory action only served to embolden Palestinian rejectionists and gave encouragement to the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement aimed at delegitimizing Israel.

The reversal is a welcome repudiation of BDS.
