## Frequently asked questions

### Why are Airbnb and Booking.com targeted?

Both are listed in the UN OHCHR database of businesses involved in the settlement enterprise because they offer rentals in illegal Israeli settlements. BDS names them as pressure targets.

### What should I use instead of these booking sites?

Book directly with the hotel or airline. Direct booking usually gets you the same price and avoids the platform commission entirely.
