Dirty secrets that Airbnb does not want you to know.

Dirty secrets that Airbnb does not want you to know.

I hope that this wakes up to the fact that Airbnb is about bringing people together, and about loving one another is done at the expense of others. Makes it not quite so shiny and happy, eh? Airbnb is not only perpetrating a crime against Palestinians living under a belligerent/illegal/brutal occupation, it is also a spreading scourge that is dramatically driving up the cost of housing in countless cities around the world and making it impossible for people who actually live and work there to put a roof over their heads. Like food, water and clothing, housing is a basic human need and hence, a human right as stipulated in the 1949 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is not a commodity!!!
