Airbnb has attracted criticism for listing Israeli homes in the Palestinian West Bank, land occupied by Israel since the 1967 Six Day War.
Until recently, however, the San Francisco company could keep its distance from the controversy, as long as the situation remained at impasse. Given recent events, however, Airbnb and other companies that directly or indirectly do business in those settlements will have more difficulty hiding under the cloak of ambiguity.
Last week, the U.N. Security Council overwhelmingly approved a resolution strongly condemning Israel for the West Bank settlements.
