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.

This is so wrong. Companies like this are on MY no-call list.
Sooo greedy, soooo disgusting
Not worthy of Israel. Shameful.
Shame on you for profiting on the exploitation of Palestinian property.
Was shocked to find the BNB I rented was on an illegal settlement in Palestine rather than in Israel where I expected it to be. No more AirBNB for me.
Disgusting!!! And:
AIR B&B is a destructive force in many tourist communities, leaving no affordable rentals for working people
Nobody should be listing bnbs on land stolen from Palestinians
This is absolutely barbaric; inhumane on so many levels; very sad; and unbelieveable.
Well done.
