Air bnb – Don’t Go There


Air bnb listed illegal settlement rentals in occupied territories as being in Israel. They wisely acceded to public pressure to remove them, then unwisely rescinded the removal and put them up again. They are disguised as legal – don’t be fooled and do cancel your membership, as have 20,000 others, and counting. #boycottairbnb

Young man, likes to travel around
Woman, finds herself outward bound
Buyer beware ‘cause you’re in a new town
That was built on stolen hillsides

Travelers, there’s a place you can go
If you don’t mind dispossessing some folks
You can pretend that you don’t even know
You are part of ethnic cleansing

It’s fun to stay at the Air BnB
It’s fun to stay at the Air BnB
You can help to displace
And erase every trace
Of indigenous families
It’s fun to stay at the Air BnB
It’s fun to stay at the Air BnB
Israel’s listings you see
Include the territories
So just don’t go there, traveler please

Traveler, are you listening to me
I said tourist who do you want to be
Sightseer don’t fall for their schemes
Yes you got to know this one thing
Israel can’t do it all by itself
They need suckers, so put your mind on the shelf
And just go there to the Air BnB
And demolish human rights there
Cho

It’s fun to stay at the Air BnB
It’s fun to stay at the Air BnB
You can hang out with all of the IDF troops
And be one of apartheid’s dupes
It’s fun to stay at the Air BnB
It’s fun to stay at the Air BnB
It’s the wild wild west
You’ll be an illegal guest
So just don’t go there, traveler please
