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.

It`s beyond comprehension that an organisation such as `airbnb` would ever stoop so low for any purpose – commercial or otherwise – in order to acieve ant kind of advantage …. especially to just make more money out of human misery & extreme oppression!
Hasn`t your organisation any ounce of moral sense …. ? Apparently not.
AirBnb has been great thus far but will not be using it again because of this horrific violation of human rights- this needs to stop.
come on
SHAME ON YOU!!!
anything for a dollar!!
I am sick to hear of this airbnb listing. Supporting injustice in this way is unjustifiable. Please remove this listing and refuse any others in Palestinian occupied territory.
The same exact thing happened in Cyprus, in 1974 the homes all the properties of Greek-Cypriot pass to the hands of Turkey by the force of guns. They rent sell and promote to foreigners as there’s. I know that is not fair and right for any human being to loose his home by any means.
I can’t believe anyone would choose to stay in a property built on stolen land, certainly not me.
Shame on you
