           RELIST JEWISH-OWNED HOMES ON WEST BANK IMMEDIATELY

  (Mr. GAETZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GAETZ. Madam Speaker, I rise today to express our support for our 
great ally, Israel, and also to share my concern about a recent 
decision from the company Airbnb.
  On November 20, Airbnb made the decision to delist about 200 Jewish 
homes in the West Bank. This decision is a win for the boycott, 
divestment, and sanctions movement, the BDS movement, which is 
blatantly anti-Semitic and consistently targets businesses that are 
operating in Israel.
  As a Representative from northwest Florida, I am proud to serve a 
State that has stringent BDS laws. I am incredibly proud of Governor-
elect Ron DeSantis for sharing his concern and for stating 
unequivocally that if Airbnb continues to engage in BDS activities, 
they have a right to speak, but they will hear from all of us very 
soon.
