"Having unexpectedly lost the White House, Democratic operatives laboring far from Washington took the lead. In November 2018, vacation rental pioneer Airbnb announced a shocking policy. Though willing to list properties in the many war zones, totalitarian states, and disputed and occupied territories around the world, Airbnb would refuse service to one group alone: Jewish homeowners in Judea and Samaria. Non-Jewish homeowners in those same disputed territories could continue to use their service. Even the leftist Haaretz dubbed the policy “a big victory” for BDS."

SodaStream CEO Gives Amazing BDS Testimony To Congress: 'Manipulation, Violence and Destruction' | Truth Revolt

At a Congressional hearing on the BDS movement (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions), CEO of SodaStream, Daniel Birnbaum, gave gripping testimony that left no question about the impact of the movement on the people and businesses in Israel and the West Bank.

Of COURSE the BDS movement is antisemitic. They targeted Soda Stream because it modeled itself on the idea of co-existence. Most of its employees were Palestinian. BDS targeted it because they do NOT want people to see that that type of cooperation works. Why? Because ultimately they have no interest in a Palestinian state next to Israel. Their only goal is a Palestinian state IN PLACE of Israel. Therefore, they are only interested in the divisive and need to destroy any company or organization that exemplifies a peaceful, positive and productive co-existence between Israelis and Palestinians. In other words, they hate Jews more than they care about the future of Palestinians.
