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:

  • Didn’t sleep a wink. Guilty conscience due to exploitation of Palestinian suffering.

  • Support absolutely. It cannot be justified under international law, on land entitlement or moral and social grounds. It stinks that these people can get away seemingly scot free.

  • “A community built on trust!” How can anyone trust a business which uses homes stolen from Palestinians? Airbnb is making money at the cost of suffering people who have lost so much. Israel, with its sad history of suffering, should know better than to take over land and homes in a neighbouring country- whatever the political situation. It should teach by example.

  • Absolutely disgusting.Israel sticking two fingers up to the international community,again!How do they get away with it?

  • I really don’t think I would enjoy staying in a prison for my holiday and as I have olive coloured skin the soldiers might kill me thinking I’m a Palestinian with a knife – it is my asthma puffer.

  • Dear AirBnB! You suck big time! If anyone in your company have some brain left, then use it and do it right this time!

  • I think AirBnB is a brilliant idea, but I never thought I would be giving a 0/5 to an AirBnB accomodation.
    This violates international law and basic human rights! I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians.”

  • Tried to read about this area before I came but not much news coverage.We had only booked in 4 guests , but it got out on facebook and 3,000 turned up , the Israelis didnt mind and said we could stay as long as we wanted. They also said if we had anymore coming to tell them and they would vacate another village for us. Service was excellent , all we had to was ask and they took it off the locals and gave it to us. Ha d a problem locating my conscience when I was leaving , they said they would send it on if they found it , but everyone else in the seemed to live quite happily without one

  • It’s disgusting. We are all fellow humans.

    • 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.
