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.

Won’t be making a booking with Airbnb ever!
I’ve stayed in Airbnb listings in Seattle and San Diego. I would never stay in one built in an illegal settlement on occupied Palestinian land.
This is outrageous and more. Israel has no business doing this on land that belongs to the Palestinians. And the world is standing by while more and more of Palestinian land is stolen. Severe action is needed.
A “sharing economy” is between equals, a people-to-people economy. For this reason, I use airbnb when I travel to a new place most of the time.
Listing housing in Palestinian territories under Isreeli occupation is so utterly disgusting, exactly the opposite of people-to-people economy.; t’s people-exploiting-people shamelessly and now for almost 50 years!
I leave no review -nor would I consider accommodation here
I am appalled to find this listing on airbnb. It violates international law and basic human rights! I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians.
Unbelievable transgression of human rights
We had considered using Airb&b when touring Europe this June/July but will now boycot them until they change their position on the occupied territories. It would in any case be one of the last places on earth I could imagine going for a holiday!
would never think of staying in an illegal settlement, not ethical and not fair
