Booking.com offices targeted over 'Apartheid' Israeli settlement profits

Workers and activists are protesting against Booking.com’s Manchester and Amsterdam headquarters following the launch of the "Stop Booking Apartheid" campaign on 2 May.

The campaign was set up by a coalition of Palestinian, worker and left-wing organisations that accuse the online travel agent of profiting from Israeli war crimes because it lists accommodations for rent in Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Syrian Golan Heights.

In Manchester, northern England, activists from Youth Front for Palestine projected visuals of refugee tents with the names of settlements promoted by Booking.com and the Palestinian communities forcibly displaced from the land.

At Booking.com’s Amsterdam HQ, which has been the site of a legal challenge from the European Legal Support Centre on grounds of money laundering, activists from XR Justice Now and Diem 25 held a banner in front of the Amsterdam office. Workers entering the office were also handed leaflets with activists informing them on Booking.com’s 55 listings in the occupied West Bank.
