Texas Blacklists Airbnb over West Bank Settlement Boycott
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - On Friday, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Glenn Hegar, publicly updated the list of businesses on the state's "List of Companies that Boycott Israel" to include Airbnb, which has 90 days to prove that it has not boycotted Israel. After that period, "the state governmental entity shall sell, redeem, divest, or withdraw all publicly traded securities of the company." The State of Texas holds that a boycott of Israeli settlers in the West Bank is akin to a boycott of Israel.
