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.
Guest Access:
Access is for non-Palestinian guests only. Guests with Arab-sounding names will be subject to additional scrutiny by settlement security.

scandalous
This is a terrible process of stealing money and hope from the original owners> I will not be applying for such a house.
stop listing Palestinian properties!
Can’t see a Code of Ethics on your website. Perhaps you should start thinking about devising one.
This posting absolutely disgusts me.
Actually, this could be a great opportunity to occupy a settlement, especially if there is more than one listing in the same place.
Such a shame that you claim to be subjects of the laws of God and yet abuse others just to make a monetary profit. Disgraceful actions. Airbnb are doing the wrong thing by accepting this sort of unethical business and will not be used by me or my family until this changes.
How tragic. Profit at the expence of these poor people whose homes have been demolished and the indescriminate destruction of fruit and olive trees. Have you no concience.
I will never use Airbnb as this company has no ethics. It lists property illegally built on land stolen from the Palestinian people
