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.

  • Airbnb has provided pleasant accommodations for my friends on their travels, but it would be very unpleasant to stay in a stolen home in an illegal settlement. Profit at any cost? Perhaps corporate ethics should be on the agenda before a stock exchange listing.

  • Couldn’t sleep a wink – the ghosts of displaced people kept me awake.

  • To participate in a holiday which comes at the cost of eviction of legitimate owners must rate as a crime against humanity

  • The sound of bulldozers destroying Palestinian homes was a bit disturbing as was the crying of the inhabitants and the occasional gunshot, but to their credit the staff did an admirable job of cleaning the blood stains in the morning.

  • I would feel so uncomfortable staying here.

  • This is disgusting – give the land back to the Palestinians

  • Such a horrible place, built on the suffering of others and exploited by Air B & B

  • Don’t steal land that doesn’t belong to you! You should be ashamed of yourselves.

  • Really in 2016??!!! With all the information out there that one cannot hide under the carpet, that one cannot pretend she/he did not know ! Airbnb you are supporting ,encouraging , and rewarding Apartheid!

    • 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.
