Through fees earned from settlement vacation rentals, you will also help Airbnb profit from the continuing occupation and dispossession of Palestinians.

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.

No thanks !
Dear Airbnb,
Surely at the very least your policies have to comply with international law. Allowing the advertising of property that is built on stolen land is not only against the law, it is also immoral and risks seriously damaging your reputation. Please take these properties off your website.
From someone who, up until today, was a big Airbnb fan
Was about to start using airBnB after recommendations by friends but not now I know about disgraceful ads from illegal settlements. 0/5
I just thinking to start to use airbnb. I was disappointed to hear
that it is profiting off of the rubble of demolished Palestinian homes.
Please stop listing properties in Israel’s occupied West Bank.
I hope this is a sick joke, If it is not then SHAME on ARIBNB
It violates international law and basic human rights! I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians.”
I am ashamed of myself for having spent even a minute in a home stolen by illegal settlers! Shame on you too, colonizers! You will pay for your crimes, sooner or later. Believe me!
You should not be listing illegal properties! AirBnB has the whole world to offer, don’t support the breaking of International Law for extra profits. These homes have been taken away from those to whom they are homes. It goes against what Airbnb should be about.
These Airbnb actions are total illegal and counterproductive to finding a just and peaceful settlement to the issue of the occupation of Palestinian lands.
