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.

  • I’m very disappointed in AirBnB for listing homes that are illegally built on stolen land. I started using AirBnB last year and used it a lot, but that’s not going to happen again unless AirBnB drop these listings

  • I heard about air b&b only recently and started thinking about using it as it seems a good idea. But the news of air b&bs in Palestine has appalled me and I could never use a business that has anything to do with the suppression of Palestinians and using facilities built on stolen land. Get your act together, air b&b, use only legal properties and you will very likely get my custom. Until then, no way.

  • I think of Airbnb as being about cooperation and fairness, sharing space.. what does this have to do with forced removals of Palestinians, seizure of their land and illegal settlements, using violence against Palestinian residents? Nothing. So don’t go there! No Airbnb in illegal Israeli settlements.

  • Airbnb is amazing. Stealing homes not. To remain amazing, airbnb must list only real homes, not stolen ones. Don’t continue supporting illegal occupations. Support honest people that want to share their real homes, not those that claim stolen land. Thank you airbnb for providing such a great opportunity. Please continue to be great, I would be sad to leave you, but will if I have to.

  • I wish no harm upon any Israeli or Palestinian, and this is why I believe this to be a misadventure.

  • I am absolutely shocked at this listing and find it hard to credit that any reputable organisation would promote tourism such as this. I conclude that this is not a reputable organisation and would like to warn people against it.

  • Razor wire, the sound of distant gun fire at dawn. This would be my ideal AirBnB except for the lack of bacon and sausage for breakfast

  • Stop acting like heartless demons! Morality defines the worth of man!

  • I’m disgusted that you are allowing this to happen on your site. If you don’t take this stolen land off your website I will stop using it and tell all my friends to do the same when they find out what you are doing.

    • About the host, Airbnb

    Last year alone Airbnb made almost $1 billion in revenue, and Airbnb is worth a whopping $24 billion. Yet, Airbnb continues to make a profit from homes located in illegal housing settlements in occupied territory.
