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.

Make sure all your listings are ethical. Will not use your site until these stolen homes are removed. Think people before profits.
History will judge this profit making from violation of human rights very poorly. Why would I want to visit Israel?
I think that Air B& B should do what is right and ethical in this situation – it cant’t be right to offer accommodation on ‘stolen’ land.
Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions – it worked in South Africa and it will work in Israel and its colonies in the West Bank and Gaza. Organisations such as Air Bnb should be ashamed of themselves for aloowing such travesties of justice in the occupied west bank. Shut it down – NOW!
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
Here in the UK it is illegal to trade in stolen goods. Israel is a supposedly civilised state and the same should surely apply there too.
I will never use this again since I have learned what is doing!!!! I will warn everyone I know to avoid it and spread their voice to maximise my impact and minimise air b&b users all over the world!!!!! Disgusting
Rent a property built on stolen land.
Criminal to say the least !!!!
This is awfull
