The Truth They Don't Want You To Know About Airbnb and Israel | Graham Elwood

An investigative foreign policy breakdown and human rights commentary hosted by Graham Elwood for The Political Vigilante. Prompted by a news submission from Patreon supporter Alex, Graham reviews NPR reporting on Airbnb’s decision to remove approximately 200 listings in Israeli settlements across the occupied West Bank following international pressure from human rights groups. Graham examines the legal status of settlements under international law, the reaction from Israeli government officials, and the double standards in Western corporate media and features testimony from "Breaking the Silence"—an organisation of former Israeli soldiers speaking out against systemic abuses and the occupation of Palestine.
