Threat actors are targeting the hospitality industry with a phishing campaign designed to steal from travelers.”

"The Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement says calls are mounting for accountability against online platforms Booking.com and Airbnb for profiting from Israel’s illegal settlements on Palestinian land"
"...both corporations list properties in illegal Israeli settlements, “built on stolen Palestinian land and considered a war crime under international law.”"
Boycott away ... it works

Today I installed #Vivaldi Browser on my laptop. On the landing page, where you are greeted by a selection of websites, I spotted #bookingcom.
Booking.com is "helping [ #Israeli] settlers commercialise stolen land [in #Palestine]" and thus aiding #Israel in #genocide.

I very kindly ask the @Vivaldi team to remove this website from the Speed Dial selection.

Here's an article from the Guardian with more details on the raised topic.

Seized, settled, let: how Airbnb and Booking.com help Israelis make money from stolen Palestinian land

As Israel deploys tanks in the West Bank for the first time in 20 years, we reveal how two of the world’s biggest travel companies are helping settlers commercialise stolen land

#BookingCom is also losing their mojo (they’re no longer the cheapest, anyway): they left me standing in front of a non-existent property, “kindly” refunded the money and offered 50 EUR on top. So I replaced this booking for 3 nights with 2 separate bookings (on Booking.com, due to room availability), and now they reject my claim with “more documentation needed”. Without saying which documentation, and all the documentation is in their system anyway.

#bookingcom Gerade unsere Ferienwohnung bezogen. Wie läuft das eigentlich mit der Beschreibung von Eigenschaften einer Wohnung? Als Beispiel: Terrasse mit Möbeln steht in der Beschreibung. Vorhanden sind mehrere französische Balkone. „Parkplatz außerhalb des Gelände“ bedeutet hier konkret öffentlicher Parkplatz ca 5 min zu Fuß entfernt. Ich bin ein wenig sauer. Die Whg. an sich ist sehr hübsch, wir können akustisch am Treiben des Restaurants teilnehmen.
