Stolen property should be returned!

I was so disappointed. This region is supposed to be a beautiful place to visit, but all I could smell was the stench of blood & sweat, I assume from the previous evacuated occupants. If I had known that, I would never have booked. At night amongst the breezes I could hear the memory of children’s crying as they were dragged from their beds into the streets. The exhaust from the steamrollers that have flattened the 2 houses next door left a film of exhaust on our rental car. I heard the restaurants were fabulous, & known for their homemade olive oils. Sad to say, it is difficult to find truly local olive oil now, as the orchards from the refugees have also been flattened by heavy machinery. The new settlers around here don’t even use the torn up timbers for anything constructive, like starts for new trees, or even firewood, these uprooted olive trees simply lie in waste, thrown in piles lining streets for miles waiting for refuse pickup. Makes the neighborhood ugly. There is nothing worthy here, except for the few kind people we met that are trying so hard to convince their fellow countrymen to seeking peace, compromise, & to give their neighbors the same quality of living as the “free settlers” have….and God knows the tears & screams left behind in the dust of new settlements were a true waste. It’s very odd, the “settlers” as they call them, have a strange attitude of entitlement when we meet them in cafes or on the new boulevards. This is extremely disconcerting, & not at all welcoming, as people were in other countries that we met in our travels We are leaving tonght. We won’t be back.

Apartheid at it’s worse. Oppression, theft and worse.

Bad idea

AirbandB should stop making money out of Palestinian land stolen by illegal Israeli settlers.
