The whole situation makes my heart break. How can anyone sleep where people have been deprived of their homes and way of life, and where children watched their only toy destroyed along with their home. It makes me sick!

The whole situation makes my heart break. How can anyone sleep where people have been deprived of their homes and way of life, and where children watched their only toy destroyed along with their home. It makes me sick!
I was wondering if the 100 dollar fee included organised visits with the settlers, for example – the destruction of palestinian farm land, the uprooting of orchards and olive trees or the participation in the agression of palestinian school children in Hebron.
Do you organise childrens outings as well? Have your picture taken on a caterpillar bulldozer, night time visits of palestinian houses with the IDF?
Airbnb shows no respect whatsoever for the palestinians nor for international law. I Don’t think that I will be using your services and will definitely be informing all my friends and colleagues of your very questionable attitude.
I rent my rooms out through Airbnb but cannot support renting out such rooms on stolen Palestinian land. When I contacted Airbnb about this, the girl claimed she knew nothing. They did not get back to me. Please take off such listings and keep your reputation.
For me it is unbelievable that you can steal land of people and that other people will support this illegal stealing bij renting there a airbnb place.
Horrible feeling emanating form its walls, grief and loss thick in the air,and a vicious cold jubilance gleaming darkly in delight at the loss of others. Gave me nightmares.
You profit off stolen property. You profit off my family’s pain. You profit off my family’s blood. You profit from a brutal occupation that prevents my father from returning to the home where he was born; his dream of seeing his brother before he passed away; his dream of being buried in his homeland. You rape me of my dream of connecting with my family; of learning my language and my culture.
You profit from destruction and for this you will pay.
Incomprehensible, opportunistic and human-unfriendly….
“Come and stay in an illegal settlement!” Is this a sick joke?
I would recommend Airbnb 100% to anybody to use but I didn’t like hearing the part they take in the israeli-palestina war. Please, Airbnb clear your good name
‘Leave a review and tell Airbnb what you think of vacation settlements built on the rubble of stolen homes, orchards and fields, and displaced communities and families.’ . . . . DISGRACEFUL – ALL INVOLVED (Airnbn & anyone choosing to stay there) SHOULD BE ASHAMED, BUT I GUESS IT’S JUST BUSINESS AS USUAL – GREED AND PROFITS BEFORE HUMANITY AND ETHICS.
