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.

Israeli strike kills Mujahideen leader and brother in Gaza City
Hamas has confirmed that Sheikh Asaad Abu Sharia, secretary-general of the Mujahideen movement, and his brother Ahmed Abu Sharia, were killed in an Israeli strike on Gaza City's Sabra neighbourhood. In a statement posted on Telegram, Hamas described the killings as 'part of a series of brutal massacres against civilians'. Earlier, medical sources told Al Jazeera that the attack in Sabra left at least 16 people dead, including six children, and wounded more than 50. Rescue crews continue to search for survivors, with an estimated 85 people still trapped beneath the rubble.
