Today, Amnesty issued yet another press release attacking Airbnb, this one right before its public offering at Nasdaq. The excuse they used for this was that Airbnb didn't include the reputational risk of allowing Jews to rent out properties - according to the so-called human rights group, only Arabs should be allowed to host Airbnb.
How many other corporations does Amnesty attack?
Outside of arms manufacturers, and mining/energy companies, I found very few, certainly none with the zeal that Amnesty has attacked Airbnb.
Specifically, Amnesty has never investigated the manufacturers of cranes that Iran uses to hang gays.
Other groups have, as far back as 2010. They publicized the names of the manufacturers and contacted them. As a result, some crane manufacturers stopped selling equipment to Iran.
But Amnesty has been silent.
And Amnesty is even aware of these campaigns - it mentioned one of them in their death penalty report of 2011. Yet it decided not to use its power to go after the remaining crane manufacturers who sell in Iran, including Atlas.
Why would Amnesty decide to incessantly attack a company like Airbnb with no connection to any human rights violations and ignore the companies whose names are literally on weapons of murder?
Because when it comes to Israel, the rules are completely different than in the rest of the world.
