Description

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.

  • AirBNB is Bad News! Will they do anything for money?

  • Utterly shameless Airb&B!
    As a result I will not consider using your services!

  • Loved this location. Shame a company that generates $1 billion a year feels the need to exploit the vulnerable situation many Palestinians find themselves in, but should we blame AirBnB for endorsing such blatant discrimination? Maybe they didn’t know about the plights of thousands of misplaced Palestinians? Perhaps they did not realise the powerlessness of such citizens in the face of the forceful, imperialist Israeli government? Of course they do, and shame upon them for putting money in front of humanitarian need. Whilst foreign media ignores the situation, Palestinians are forced to watch western companies profit from there misfortune. It is the ultimate disrespect, and a sign of western neglect for Palestine. More must be done to stop greed filled companies such as AirBnB. This is only the start.

  • We first used AirBnB last year for our first trip since our recent retirement and recommended the company to many of our friends and family. However, now that we know of the company’s questionable ethics of profiting from properties built on illegally settled (stolen) land, we will not only not be recommending the company any more but will also actively informing everyone we come across about their lack of ethics.

  • Stolen home by illegal settlers.

  • Show some integrity airbnb, very poor LT business decision.

  • C’mon AirBnB, you can do so much better than this! I’m a loyal customer but I’m about to stop booking with you if you don’t drop these unconscionable, terrible listings on stolen land.

  • A home that has been stolen from its rightful owners should not be allowed up for rent by the thieves.

  • Shame on Airbnb for listing vacation rentals in illegal West Bank areas!

    • 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.
