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.

Access is for non-Palestinian guests only. Guests with Arab-sounding names will be subject to additional scrutiny by settlement security.

Stop sneering at the distress of Palestinian people by advertising vacation sites on land stolen from them by illegal West Bank stlements.
Very comfortable, my only gripe was you didn’t bury the bodies of the Palestinian children deep enough so the stench of rotting flesh disrupted an otherwise wonderful stsy.
airbnb; what are you doing!!!!!!!!!!
Stop renting out stolen property.
Shame on you for supporting Israeli apartheid
The house was full of the ghosts of displaced and brutally dispossessed people. I will not use Airbnb if it continues to list properties in the illegal settlements in Palestine.
shame!
Occupation vacation!
This is outrageous! Why are you violating human rights this way?
It is unjust that airbnb should make profit from a very complicated situation.
