URGENT: Palestinian Land
Being Stolen by Land-rental Firms
Ekō.org https://www.ekō.org
(May 28, 2026) — Children gunned down in the streets, entire villages violently raided, homes set on fire – Palestinians on their own land are under siege from merciless Israeli armed forces and settlers.
And Booking.com is profiting from the horror by advertising vacation rentals on this stolen land.
Thanks to Ekō members, we were able to fund a research team to trace yet another Booking.com listing to a Palestinian family’s land – now we need to take this new evidence to its AGM on June 2!
With all of us chipping in we could unleash a wave of pressure on this mega-tourism company’s execs and investors at this critical moment: hiring influencers to spread testimonies we’ve collected from Palestinian landowners, running ads targeting investors, meeting with investor groups to rally a strong vote for our resolution against these rentals, and more.
If we all come together now, we have a real chance of forcing Booking.com’s hand. Then, we’ll keep going until the entire system fuelling the occupation and Palestinians’ oppression comes crumbling down.
Settler violence against Palestinians has surged in recent weeks since the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Israel is counting on the world’s eyes to be drawn elsewhere – but we’re still paying attention to its war crimes in Palestine. And companies like Booking.com are helping facilitate these horrors.
Right now, Booking.com has listings for glamping resorts, boutique hotels, and “desert hospitality” retreats on stolen Palestinian land — generating revenue that flows directly into the settlement economy.
Israel depends on corporations like Booking.com to legitimise its illegal occupation. But Booking.com’s biggest shareholders may not know what they are invested in. We are going to tell them, with Palestinian testimony, with hard legal and investor risk reports, and with a presence at its shareholder meeting that it cannot ignore – but we have to move fast!
Ekō members are already making real change possible: funding the research team who traced a Booking.com listing to a Palestinian family’s stolen land, and hiring a filmmaker to bring their story to the world. Now, we are taking this evidence to Booking.com’s investors and into a courtroom to support a criminal complaint in the Netherlands, where the company is headquartered.
If Booking.com moves, it could push every other travel company to follow. Chip in today to help fund all our work for Palestine.
