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.

“I am thinking of using airbnb, and was shocked to hear that it is profiting from properties built in illegally occupied Palestine. Please stop listing properties in Israel’s occupied West Bank.”
Thank you.
It’s immoral, unethical, shameful, despicable, as someone has already said, it’s blood money
Patronizing this AirBnb enables the illegal settler to profit from occupying other people’s land.
Would I stay in accommodation built illegally on Palestinian land? NO.
Hearing of this, I would rate Airbnb 0/5
You should be ashamed of yourself, Airbnb
I have used Airbnb frequently in the past. Won’t be using it again unless they stop this practice.
AirBnb, who would want to stay in a stolen Palestinian property? Certainly not me. On my upcoming trip to Europe in July, I won’t be staying at any AirBnb properties.
Ive used airbnb several times, but I’ll avoid this company until I hear that its immoral behaviour stops for good.
You thieves, using stolen homes while the owners are thrown out with no possessions to rot on the street and their furniture is used.
