Soros-Funded NGO Uses Disputed Claims to Demand TripAdvisor
Soros-Funded NGO Uses Disputed Claims to Demand TripAdvisor, Booking.com Boycott Israeli Settlements
TEL AVIV — Amnesty International, a British-based NGO that has received financing from billionaire activist George Soros, has advocated the boycott of tourism in West Bank Israeli communities as well as eastern Jerusalem.
Using the disputed label of “Occupied Palestinian Territories,” Amnesty International singled out Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia and TripAdvisor, claiming those companies are profiting from what the organization wildly claimed werer “war crimes” by facilitating tourism to those territories.
Amnesty International claimed:
All four companies claim to operate under high ethical values and respect for the rule of law. However, none of these standards appears to influence the companies’ decisions in relation to settlement listings. In doing business with settlements, all four companies are contributing to, and profiting from, the maintenance, development and expansion of illegal settlements, which amount to war crimes under international criminal law.
Amnesty International, which has been funded by Soros’s Open Society Foundations, refers to the West Bank, areas where Jews have had an historic presence for thousands of years, as “Occupied Palestinian Territories,” implying that Israel stole the land from the Palestinians.
The organization’s report says that it included “East Jerusalem” in its definition of “Occupied Palestinian Territories” to be boycotted by the tourism companies. “East Jerusalem” is not a city. The term refers to eastern Jerusalem, which contains the Temple Mount, Western Wall and Old City and has been home to Jews as well as local Arabs for centuries.
Israel opposes the “occupied” label, and has referred to the West Bank in international forums as disputed. The framework for all previous peace proposals, each of which was rejected by the Palestinian Authority, never called for an entire Israeli evacuation from the West Bank or eastern Jerusalem.
Palestinians never had a state in the West Bank or eastern Jerusalem and they are not legally recognized as the undisputed authorities in those areas. Jordan illegally occupied and annexed the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem from 1948 until Israel captured the lands in a defensive war in 1967.
The 1967 Six Day War was launched after Arab countries used the territories to stage attacks against the Jewish state. In 1988, Jordan officially renounced its claims to the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem and unilaterally recognized terrorist Yasser Arafat’s Palestine Liberation Organization as “the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.”
Like eastern Jerusalem, the West Bank contains historic Jewish communities and some of the holiest sites in Judaism, including the Tomb of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs in Hebron, Rachel’s Tomb in Bethlehem, and Joseph’s Tomb in Shechem.
Amnesty International singled out Airbnb even though the housing giant already announced that the company will ban Israeli homes in the West Bank from its listings.
Airbnb made that announcement in November just 24-hours before a report from Human Rights Watch was reportedly set to criticize the company for allowing the listings. Like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch also received Soros financing.
Airbnb’s decision followed intense lobbying efforts by the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
Amnesty wrote that TripAdvisor “is the main focus of this campaign because of the company’s relative importance to the tourism industry in Israeli settlements.”
