Description
Overview:
Stay at your own vacation rental, located in an illegal settlement and in violation of international law. Support structural discrimination and theft of Palestinians’ land. Through fees earned from settlement vacation rentals, you will also help Airbnb profit from the continuing occupation and dispossession of Palestinians.
The Neighbourhood:
This home is located in an illegal Jewish-only settlement. These settlements are built by Israel on Palestinian land it has occupied since 1967, and are considered illegal under international law.
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.

Legality:
Very callous and indifferent profiteering. Don’t support wrongdoing by allowing settlers to profit from stolen land.
Dirty business.
Everyone should know that these settlements violate international law and therefore ought not to be listed as legally rentable properties.
This gets a minus 5 star rating.
It’s immoral in every sense of the term.
A repulsive example of the current state of human evolution.
Unacceptable for Airbnb to be complicit in these atrocities.
Stop advertising stolen land and give it back
Long time Airbnb fan, now contemplating the ethics of this company. Stop listing homes built on illegally occupied land.
A reputable international holiday rental organization can not afford to deal in transactions against International Law.
Airbnb listings of homes on stolen Palestinian land is unconscionable. While great political powers refuse to call Israel out on its criminal behaviour surely a private business with the profile and clout of airbnb should be able to take a stand for what’s right.
How about spending a week with a Palestinian family, for every week spent in an illegal settlement? What’s that; you don’t want to risk your life every day? You don’t want your children to be shot by the Israeli Army? You don’t want not to be able to wash regularly because your water has been stolen?
