#Boycott airbnb
Text
Fuck it I think I'm gonna actually throw myself into something for once and try to start some kind of organised AirBnB boycott. AirBnB is responsible for so much loss of family homes, especially in holiday hotspots. My old home where I lived with my partner was turned into an AirBnB right after we left. We need a national boycott because this shit is ridiculous.

In the middle of the night…
…I get up to pee. And it’s cold. Though this place was built by the one-armed man in 1977, and it’s drafty as fuck, the bedroom stays decently warm with a small, portable radiator while everywhere else in the house is frigid. Some nights the radiator doesn’t make a difference, and the comforter and sheets are cold everywhere I haven’t been. It evokes the image of a body outline at a murder scene. I can make it to the bathroom, do my business, and by the time I make it back to bed, my feet are chilled. When I get back under the covers, like a heat seeking lizard I find the warm spot in and return to my exact position I lay in before I left my bed. 
I wonder if the new place we find will be better. But right now, there is nothing comparable that allows pets that we can afford. We are the owners of a small, slowly growing business, a business that adds to the texture of this community-- the reason why people want to live here. We purchase from local businesses as much as we can, which also supports this community, so we can give as good as we get. Sounds easy, right? But this is the hard way to do it, and it all comes down to local folks paying higher rents. The position we now find ourselves in, with new landlords that will turn us out of the place we’ve lived for over twenty years into a ridiculous real estate market so they can raise rents, will put an undue strain on our finances, threaten our lives and our business. This is how communities die. This is how people become homeless.
I don’t know what the answer is, but I do think real estate investing needs to be curtailed. Owning a second home needs to be disincentivized-- no more vacation homes for the family-- for god’s sake, what is wrong with a hotel, an RV, a resort? I urge folks not to use AirBnB, because people are not following local ordinances and AirBnB is not abiding by them either; whole houses are being rented out which removes available housing for people who work and live in the area. What is wrong with booking an actual Bed and Breakfast? If you are a real estate investor, do not overpay for a property where the rents will not cover the mortgage, because you will have to turn people out of their homes in order to make payments, you will upend their lives and severely diminish their finances. Have some fucking scruples and don’t take a pound of flesh off of strangers.
This is what I think about in the middle of the night while I put my cold feet on my warm calf. I wonder where we will live. I wonder how we will survive. I wonder, will the real estate bubble will, once again, burst? It can't happen soon enough.

Here is the updated BDS boycott list for Palestine.
You can boycott other companies if you want, but unfocused boycotts do not work. Focus on the companies on the list.

wanted to point out that some of the brands that have been making the rounds as brands to boycott are not even mentioned on the BDS's list of companies to put pressure on. for example, although Starbucks is problematic and it's not wrong to boycott them, people have been exclusively going against Starbucks as if it's the only company that supplies Israel with money and weapons--and it's literally not even on the official BDS list. and when people do share BDS lists, they tend to mention far too many companies. this goes against the BDS movement of targeting only a specific handful at a time.
here are some companies the average consumer can boycott easily, taken directly from the BDS website (refer to the link for the full list):
mcdonalds
google and amazon (to clarify, the bds lists these as pressure targets—boycotting if reasonable alternatives exist, but putting pressure on them while continuing to use them is also acceptable)
sodastream
airbnb/booking/expedia (listed as pressure targets, but also reasonable boycotts)
burger king
papa john's
pizza hut
PUMA
boycott produce from israel
note that the bds lists collective boycotting as the most effective method of boycotting. although it encourages individual boycotting as well, it predominantly advises that you find local boycotts in your city. if you’re unable to do that, at least you have a list of feasible brands not to purchase from in the future. ethical consumerism is important, especially where genocide is involved.

Boycotts are definitely worthwhile forms of protest but I’m really begging some people to actually look at the BDS list and focus on the companies listed there.
I think a lot of people have latched on to Starbucks because it’s easy for them to actually boycott but this is a reminder that it’s not listed. It doesn’t have stores in Israel and it doesn’t send money to the IDF. The reason it got drug in is that Starbucks corporate sued the union to take down a pro-Palestine post. Shitty and BDS has supported the union, but it’s not as actively complicit in genocide as HP, Puma, Re/Max, Sodastream, Siemens, Chevron, etc.
Don’t buy HP computers or printers, or sodastreams, or Puma shoes, or gas from Chevron, or Hyundais or Volvos. Avoid Siemens and Intel products when you can (this is harder to avoid).
Amazon, Google, AirBNB, Disney, Expedia, Booking.com, Teva (pharmaceutical), etc are pressure targets. Not necessarily a boycott but that can be included.
Organic boycotts are included, so yes boycott Starbucks if you feel you need to. But make sure you’re putting that energy into the BDS targets.

BOYCOTTING FOR PALESTINE
The Official BDS Boycott Targets
The Updated List is Below:
EUROVISION. IT IS IN OUR TOP PRIORITY TO BOYCOTT EUROVISION
Tumblr media
Consumer Boycotts - a complete boycott of these brands
Axa
Puma
Carrefour
HP
Cevron
Caltex
Israeli produce
Re/max
Ahava
Texaco
Siemens
Sodastream
Organic Boycott Targets - boycotts not initiated by BDS but still complete boycott of these brands
Macdonald's
Dominos
Papa Johns
Burger King
Pizza Hut
Wix
Divestments and exclusion - pressure governments, institutions, investment funds, city councils, etc. to exclude from procurement contracts and investments and to divest from these
Elbit Systems
CAF
Volvo
CAT
Barclays
JCB
intel
HD Hyundai
TKH Security
HikVision
Pressure - boycotts when reasonable alternatives exist, as well as lobbying, peaceful disruptions, and social media pressure.
Google
Amazon
AirBnb
Booking.Com
Expedia
Disney
Teva
Here are some companies that strongly support Israel (but are not Boycott targets). There is no ethical consumption under capitalism and boycotting is a political strategy - not a moral one. If you did try to boycott every supporter of Israel you would struggle to survive because every major company supports Israel (as a result of attempting to keep the US economy afloat), that being said, the ones that are being boycotted by masses and not already on the organic boycott list are coloured red.

We must strategically focus on a relatively smaller number of carefully selected companies and products for maximum impact. Companies that play a clear and direct role in Israel’s crimes and where there is real potential for winning, as was the case with, among others, G4S, Veolia, Orange, Ben & Jerry’s and Pillsbury. Compelling huge, complicit companies, through strategic and context-sensitive boycott and divestment campaigns, to end their complicity in Israeli apartheid and war crimes against Palestinians sends a very powerful message to hundreds of other complicit companies that “your time will come, so get out before it’s too late!” Many of the prohibitively long lists going viral on social media do the exact opposite of this strategic and impactful approach. They include hundreds of companies, many without credible evidence of their connection to Israel’s regime of oppression against Palestinians, making them ineffective.
Tumblr media
Consumer boycott targets - The BDS movement calls for a complete boycott of these brands carefully selected due to the company's proven record of complicity in Israeli apartheid. (Siemens, Puma, Carrefour, AXA, Hewlett Packard (HP), SodaStream, Ahava, RE/MAX, Israeli produce in your supermarkets)
Divestment targets - The BDS movement is pressuring governments, institutions and investment funds to exclude and divest from as many complicit companies as practical, especially weapons manufacturers, banks, and companies listed in the UN database of business involved in Israel’s illegal settlement enterprise, as well as the WhoProfits and AFSC Investigate databases of companies enabling the occupation. Below we give some of the targets we are campaigning against. (Elbit Systems, HD Hyundai/Volvo/CAT/JCB, Barclays, CAF, Chevron, HikVision, TKH Security)
Pressure (non-boycott) targets - The BDS movement actively calls for pressure campaigns against these brands and services due to their complicity in Israeli apartheid. We have not, on strategic grounds, called for a boycott of these brands and services, instead we strategically call on supporters and institutions to mount other forms of pressure on them until they end their complicity in Israeli apartheid. (Google and Amazon, Airbnb/Booking/Expedia, Disney)
Organic boycott targets - The BDS movement did not initiate these grassroots boycott campaigns but is in support of them due to these brands openly supporting Israel’s genocide against Palestinians. (McDonald's, Burger King, Papa John's, Pizza Hut, WIX, etc)

November 5th update on the official BDS Movement boycott to support Palestine:
Tumblr media
The BDS Movement have put out an explainer on what you should be boycotting and why, including a section on why a targeted boycott is being used.
"Many of the prohibitively long lists going viral on social media do the exact opposite of this strategic and impactful approach. They include hundreds of companies, many without credible evidence of their connection to Israel’s regime of oppression against Palestinians, making them ineffective."
The following are the current top priority boycott targets of the global BDS movement:
Consumer targets:
Siemens
PUMA
Carrefour
AXA
Hewlett Packard Inc (HP Inc)
SodaStream
Ahava
Israeli produce in your supermarkets
Corporate/Institutional boycott targets:
Elbit Systems
HD Hyundai/Volvo/CAT/JCB
Google and Amazon (join the No Tech For Apartheid campaign here)
Airbnb/Booking/Expedia
RE/MAX
Barclays
CAF
Chevron
HikVision
TKH Security
They also reference the grassroots organic boycotts of McDonald’s, Burger King, Papa John’s, Pizza Hut, WIX, etc.
"Remember, all Israeli banks and virtually all Israeli companies are complicit to some degree in Israel’s system of occupation and apartheid, and hundreds of international corporations and banks are also deeply complicit. We focus our boycotts on a small number of companies and products for maximum impact."
Please read the full article for an explanation of each boycott target, why a targetted boycott is being used, and more general information.

It would be great if people stopped using real atrocities as an excuse to hate on a White Girl Brand.
Even BDS does not focus on Starbucks. They haven't mentioned it since 2014.
"I'm boycotting Starbucks in support of Palestine!" No, chance are you saw a chance to talk shit about a brand that's popular and it makes you feel like you're better than everyone else. It gets notes. Why talk about actual boycotts like Chevron and HP and Sodastream and Puma when you can give people an excuse to hate That Popular Thing That Girls Like?
"But they shut down that one group for being pro-Palestine!" They shut it down with political speech as the EXCUSE. That was not about Palestine. It was about unions. That was a union-busting action. Not a political one. It was a stupid union-busting action because of the bad press it got them for supposedly being pro-Israel, but it was about the union. From the corporate perspective, it was about the union. It was a chance to take down one of the unions.
EDIT: Other claims of explicit zionism by the company as a whole have been debunked. The matter of Howard Schultz is more complicated. See below.
Boycott the company for its union-busting. A boycott without a clear message doesn't do shit, and you are wasting your time and energy, and spreading misinformation besides.
You are NOT HELPING PALESTINE by spreading misinformation. Sure, the opportunity to hate on Starbucks is going to mean more people share your past and it goes farther, but it's also going to make them think that boycotting a company that has nothing to do with Israel is going to help, rather than, say, paying attention to the gas pumps they use or the food they eat.
Tumblr media
The above image is from the BDS page on economic boycotts. It's official as of early January. This is on the same page:
We must strategically focus on a relatively smaller number of carefully selected companies and products for maximum impact. We need to target companies that play a clear and direct role in Israel’s crimes and where there is real potential for winning, as was the case with, among others, G4S, Veolia, Orange, Ben & Jerry’s and Pillsbury. Compelling large, complicit companies, through strategic and context-sensitive boycott and divestment campaigns, to end their complicity in Israeli apartheid and war crimes against Palestinians sends a very powerful message to hundreds of other complicit companies that “your time will come, so get out before it’s too late!”
Many of the prohibitively long lists going viral on social media do the exact opposite of this strategic and impactful approach. They include hundreds of companies, many without credible evidence of their connection to Israel’s regime of oppression against Palestinians. Many do not have clear demands to the companies as to what we expect them to do to end the boycott, making them ineffective.
I'm not saying that Starbucks SHOULDN'T be held accountable for using the Gaza war as a point of contention in their unrelated union situation. It was a shitty thing to do, and incidentally and indirectly supported Israel.
EDIT: I've been given some information on how Howard Schultz, the CEO, has investment ties to Wiz and other Israeli companies that are actually involved with current events. This is significantly more than I was previously finding. If you choose to boycott for this reason, have at ye.
However, I do still hold to my stance that companies ACTUALLY BEING TARGETED by BDS should be the ones name-dropped in posts that feature calls to action. It's a matter of efficiency and effectiveness. The more people that are led to believe that Starbucks is the biggest bad in the room, the less people will join in boycotts and divestment of McDonald's, Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Wiz, Airbnb, Caterpillar, Chevron, and all the other companies that BDS is saying are actually important to stop giving money to.
Back to the original post.
But.
BUT
The proliferation of specifically anti-Starbucks rhetoric as a supposed form of pro-Palestine Action is overshadowing ACTUAL ACTION. If every single post about boycotting to support Palestine mentions Starbucks, and maybe Puma or Sodastream, but doesn't mention any of the two dozen other companies that BDS states are actually crucial to making a change, including other American food franchises (that just do happen to be more stereotypically boy-popular, like pizza and burger chains), then you are ACTIVELY taking away support from the boycotts that matter.
And the reason this happens is because "Starbucks bad" feeds into the confirmation bias for people that already dislike it for being popular or overpriced or not to their taste.
So take a step back. Ask yourself, "am I boycotting Starbucks because I actually believe it will help and am listening to groups like BDS, or am I just using this as an excuse to badger people into avoiding a franchise I already dislike?"
Okay? We on the same page?
Great. Now check if your local Starbucks is unionized, if their union is asking customers to boycott THEM, and then maybe boycott anyway.
But check if it's actually doing something or just distracting you from real activism, first.

posted on twitter by @queeringromance: a clarification of the different terminology being used by the BDS movement when calling for boycotts and other actions in support of Palestine. the original infographic without the terminology clarifications was posted by the BDS twitter account.
Tumblr media
[image description: an infographic about companies that BDS is calling on people to boycott, divest from, and pressure.
consumer boycott: for you, as a consumer should boycott it
divestment: for governments, institutions, and investors exclude and divest from it
pressure (non-boycott): you can not boycott but BDS is calling for supporters and institutions to find a strategic way to pressure their complicity
organic boycott: boycotts not initiated by BDS but fully support because these brands openly support Israel.
the BDS part of the infographic states "Act Now Against These Companies Profiting from the Genocide of the Palestinian People"
consumer boycott targets: AXA insurance, Puma, Carrefour, Siemens, HP, Israeli produce, Re/Max, SodaStream, Ahava skincare
divestment targets: Elbit Systems, HD Hyundai/Volvo/CAT/JCB, CAF (Basque transport firm), Barclays, Chevron, HikVision, TKH Security
pressure (non boycott) targets: Google and Amazon (US), Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, Disney
organic boycott targets: McDonald’s (US), Burger King (US), Papa John’s (US), Pizza Hut (US), WIX (Israel), etc.
/end description]
The BDS movement's site has more details on the terminology and reasonings for targeting these companies.

useful explanation on the different boycotts BDS is supporting! image IDs under the cut.
[ID: A series of photos taken from the BDS Instagram page. They read:
1. Act Now Against These Companies Profiting from the Genocide of the Palestinian People (this same title is the title for every slide)
The slide is split into four sections as below:
Consumer boycott targets:
AXA
Puma
Carrefour
SIEMENS
AHAVA
HP
Boycott Israeli goods sticker
RE/MAX
Sodastream
Divestment targets:
Elbit Systems
CAT
Barclays
CAF
Chevron
Volvo
JCB
HD Hyundai
TKH Security
HIK Vision
Pressure (NON-BOYCOTT) targets:
Google
Amazon
Airbnb
Booking.com
Expedia
Disney
Organic boycott targets:
Domino's Pizza
McDonald's
Papa John's
Burger King
Pizza Hut
WiX
2. Consumer boycott targets:
AXA
Puma
Carrefour
SIEMENS
AHAVA
HP
Boycott Israeli goods sticker
RE/MAX
Sodastream
The BDS movement calls for a complete boycott of these brands carefully selected due to the company's proven record of complicity in Israeli apartheid.
3. Divestment targets:
Elbit Systems
CAT
Barclays
CAF
Chevron
Volvo
JCB
HD Hyundai
TKH Security
HIK Vision
The BDS movement is pressuring governments, institutions and investment funds to exclude and divest from complicit companies listed in the UN, WhoProfits, and AFSC Investigate databases of businesses enabling Israel's occupation. Above we give some of the targets we are campaigning against.
4. Pressure (NON-BOYCOTT) targets:
Google
Amazon
Airbnb
Booking.com
Expedia
Disney
The BDS movement actively calls for pressure campaigns against these brands and services due to their complicity in Israeli apartheid. We have not, on strategic grounds, called for a boycott of these brands and services, instead we strategically call on supporters and institutions to mount other forms of pressure on them until they end their complicity in Israeli apartheid.
5. Organic boycott targets:
Domino's Pizza
McDonald's
Papa John's
Burger King
Pizza Hut
WiX
The BDS movement did not initiate these grassroots boycott campaigns but is in support of them due to these brands openly supporting Israel's genocide against Palestinians.
