Description
Overview:

Through fees earned from settlement vacation rentals, you will also help Airbnb profit from the continuing occupation and dispossession of Palestinians.

The space:
The stolen home includes views of the West Bank Apartheid Wall.
Guest Access:
Access is for non-Palestinian guests only. Guests with Arab-sounding names will be subject to additional scrutiny by settlement security.
House rules
All those would could be perceived as Arabs must be accompanied by armed guards while in the Settlement, for their own protection.

As an American Jew who wants Israel to thrive and believes that Jewish takeover of Palestinian lands is the worst way to accomplish that, I would NEVER rent such a place, and deeply feel that it should NOT be offered.
Sounds like a nightmare … I heard that the ghosts of murdered Palestinians haunt these places … Have a look at this site for some alternatives to AirBnB:
It sucks.
AirbnB can make a difference, stop this inequality
We do not get to be neutral…
I was disappointed to hear that it is profiting off of the rubble of demolished Palestinian homes. Please stop listing properties in Israel’s occupied West Bank.
This is the first listing that I am giving a 0/5. It violates international law and basic human rights. I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians.
Have been using airbnb for 2 years and this is the first listing that I am giving a 0/5. It violates international law and basic human rights! I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians
Wow you guys are real jerks! Keep up the awful and disgusting work!……
i did not enjoy my stay at this stolen property
It’s my home now, just because I said so. Get out.
