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.

  • We have used airbnb accommodation in Europe in 2013 but we would never use the listing here. Please remove them from your listing as it is against all human rights to allow this site to exist. It is inappropriate and goes against those whose homes have been illegally taken. It makes us think that we can no longer use your site for further accommodation as we feel so strongly about this matter

  • This is sickening. For goodness sakes. How can this even be a debate???

    I do extensive business with airbnb, managing tens of properties, believe me I will be meeting with owners and urging them to move their business elsewhere unless this is addressed.

  • I cannot understand how airbnb can list and profit from using stolen properties. I await news that their policy has changed on humanitarian grounds.

  • It is disgusting. STOP. They should not have any advertising of their resort on stolen land. It is DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Time to get ethical, AirBnb, and stop listing these properties.

  • Surely Airbnb must be in breach of international law, given that under international law the occupation and settlements are illegal?

    Project this example back 80-90 years and applying the same practice, Airbnb would have been making money all over Europe from rental of houses or rooms belonging to the incarcerated and exterminated Jews who previously lived in them. Shame on Airbnb!

  • Absolutely unacceptable and inhumane

  • I could not sleep knowing this land was stolen from other families. For a people who have suffered so much it is hard to believe they would perpetrate similar suffering on others

  • I will not use AirBnb as long as AirBnb have activities in West Bank areas on behalf of israeli settlers. These areas are not Israeli land. Shame on AirBnb to profit from such operations.

  • I was always supporting the idea of sharing an apartment or house with travelers. Hence, I was supporting Airbnb. But this has gone to far.

    Stop this! It’s a shame the Airbnb takes part of an illegal occupation. It’s a shame the Airbnb tries to get enriched unjustified. STOP THIS!

    Do you have no more decency left. Life is not all about living. Get this!

    • 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.
