on going discrimination by airbnb

[Mike496]

any other bnb guests/hosts out there feel like they are being discriminated against? several months ago i wrote bnb about the fact that they should keep their politics out of their business... i mentioned that the whole point of using bnb was being able to choose guests who one feels comfortable with.. since that time i have yet to take a reservation .. looking for any others out there who may have experienced something similar... for more info e mail me at [email hidden for safety reasons] or look for my other inquiries/postings about this posted on craigs list and facebook.. seems to me they are the ones who are discriminating.. the more of us the better.. mlo

No.

I looked up @Mike496's profile and I see what his issue is - I sympathize with him after seeing what he posted under "parting shots from a disgruntled host" leaving the platform, he has reason to complain.  I don't think it has anything to do with discrimination.  He just got really unlucky with some guests and got no support from either the police or Airbnb (yes, it was bad enough to call the police....)

 @Mike496, buddy, sorry you have had this tough experience.  I guess Fort Lauderdale maybe draws people who think anything goes and are really going to "let their hair down" in your place! Long term rental may be a better deal for you, for sure! Hope your new year goes better!

As a protest for your political antisemitic decision to exclude Jewish homes in the West Bank in Israel from AirBnB (Which shows you don't understand the West Bank is a name of a geographic area ruled once by Jordan and home might belong to either side) I will limit my use in AirBnB, and stop using your platform.
As far as I know, Israel is the only conflict zone you took a political stand at. This is called hypocrisy, and it shows your company is influenced by inner political agendas, which a bad for any company.

For all the westeners who support it, the conflict is way too complicated for you to understand while sitting on your comfy couch back home. Your ignorance in the day to day lives being involved is outrageous. Soda Stream's factory moved from the West Bank: results: a lot of Palestinians lost their jobs which included making friendly connections with Jewish peers. Afterwards Soda Stream made a 3 billion $ exit.
