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.

How can you possibly support the UN pronounced illegal occupation of Palestinian land?
I certainly will not patronize any airbnb property due to this listing of an illegally stolen home. I will also make it my mission to tell all my corporate contacts to boycott airbnb.
I would only want to deal with owners who are moral and legal in all their dealings. Houses in stolen lands are immoral and illegal.
Blood money stains the hands of Israel, please change course, if need be seek help. Anything must be better than the situation that Israel is building on and does not seem to see the wrong of it all. Stop the occupation!!!
This should be a source of shame listing property that exists on land that does NOT belong to Israel.
What a wonderful place! From the premises you can look down at poor Palestinians attempting to pass through checkpoints to get to their few remaining olive trees that haven’t been destroyed by local settlers. Hilarious! Luxuriate under 24 hour electricity and in clean water that is not accessible to Palestinians. Marvellous! Enjoy hearing the stories of your peace-loving settler neighbours and the hardships they’ve had to endure. Educational! Oh, but make sure you can speak Hebrew – they don’t take kindly to outsiders!
This exploitation of other people’s loss and pain is disgusting.. Get out of the West Bank rentals, you vultures.
I was thinking of using AirBnb for my upcoming holidays but after learning about the listing of stolen homes for rent I will not use AirBnb and will not use it in the future either. Making profit off these properties is unethical.
It’s ILLEGAL!!!
