Our amazing victory in the Airbnb case, a lawsuit we initiated last November has really pushed back against the BDS movement. The federal action we launched against the hosting giant last year, under the Fair Housing Act, was only the beginning. Next we sent letters to the Attorney Generals of all the 25 states that enacted anti-BDS laws, asking them to utilize their statutes to take action against Airbnb. We also warned that we were preparing a complaint to be submitted to the SEC prior to Airbnb’s planned IPO, emphasizing its anti-Semitic policy. It was all of these actions together that finally brought Airbnb to reach a settlement agreement with us and to cancel its discriminatory policy against Jewish property owners.
