Are they referring to all settlements as "Israeli settlements". Are they not considering "Palestinian settlements" as settlements. I have no idea.

Maybe they are ill-informed as I am. I thought there was only Israeli settlements.   
How is staying in Kiryat Arba where apartments were delisted different than visiting Bethlehem? The apartments in Bethlehem are Arabs.

You need to ask them.
1 - Recognize that each situation is unique and requires a case-by-case approach.
2 - Consult with a range of experts and our community of stakeholders.
3 - Assess any potential safety risks for our hosts and guests.
4 - Evaluate whether the existence of listings is contributing to existing human suffering.
5 - Determine whether the existence of listings in the occupied territory has a direct connection to the larger dispute in the region.

OP posted a link

Not only did AirBNB specifically target “Israeli settlements,” according to Professor Eugene Kontorovich of George Mason Law, they’ve announced that they will only disallow listings in Israeli settlements when those listings are owned by Jews. In other words, if a Jew owns an apartment in East Jerusalem, that won’t be allowed for listing; if an Arab owns an apartment in the same neighborhood, it’s fine for listing.

My question for Ben Shapiro is who the heck is Eugene Kontorovich and why should we listen to him over AirBnB's own press release which says nothing about religion?
