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.

Summary

Justice:

Legality:

  • I lament the injustice of the scene described by “the listing.” Illegally occupied land can never be justified.

  • I felt awful the whole time I stayed there, knowing I was in a home obtained illegally. I felt horrible about the families who had lived on this land who had been displaced. I realized at last that by staying there I had added to their misery.

  • Comon do your homework or do u…..want to be an unethical company?

  • This is stolen land, and for the Israeli Government to allow this is obscene

  • It is beyond disgust that Airbnb knowingly allows homes either confiscated or built on stolen lands to be advertised on their website for a profit. That tells me Airbnb have no conscience, have nor morals & no ethics. That tells me Airbnb values profit before people, profit before values, profit before community. Shame on you Airbnb. You will never ever get a booking from me, my family or my friends!

  • I am overwhelmed with the feeling of disgust & Gaul of this company who feel it is okay to rent out the home of someone else without their permission, to just bulldoze their way into people’s lives and make money from it. I feel sick, no holiday here just a rotten taste in my mouth. The evil has risen from the depths of hell & taken up residence in occupied Palestine, God Bless us all.

  • Stop listing properties in Israel’s illegally occupied West Bank, immediately.

  • Just don’t do it, Airbnb – it is wrong and can’t be justified on any grounds.

  • GREAT idea!
    I would add something about “access by way of Jews-only highways and public transportation, totally segregated, so rest easy.”
    AND add to “Cost to Palestinians:” ” lost livelihood,” “restricted and costly access to Israeli-managed water supply,” “elimination of access to their own agricultural land by Jews-only highways and roads,” “access to IDF home attacks, confiscation, incarceration without cause and general destruction of agriculture and infrastructure 24/7″ ETC.
    or maybe you could put all the last under ENTERTAINMENT AVAILABLE
    AND under “House Rules” ADD “. . . protection from settlers.”
    I have seen all this first-hand, in Nov. 2011, and I’ll bet it has only gotten worse for Palestinians.

    • 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.
