You must be a strange human to get money from stolen prperty.
I have an airbnb booked in April but this will be my last one until you stop using homes that have been stolen.
Absolutely no chance of me using airbnb now. This is absolutely disgusting. I will make sure everyone I knows is aware of this blatant profiteering from war crime and hostile occupation.
This is simply WRONG!! I would advise all people considering a stay in one of Airbnb’s properties that have been built on STOLEN PALESTINIAN land to realise that you would be complicit in horrific human rights abuses. These properties have been illegally built (according to international law) on Palestinian land that has been illegally appropriated by demolishing Palestinian homes and destroying Palestinian crops and olive orchards.
Airbnb is also complicit in some of the very worst human rights abuses by listing these properties!!
As the great Nelson Mandela said of what has been done to Palestinians it is “THE GREATEST SOCIAL INJUSTICE OF OUR TIMES”. Don’t be complicit in gross injustice, apartheid and incremental ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Palestinians, don’t stay in one of these Airbnb travesties. Let Airbnb know that you stand for justice and human rights and their business will suffer unless they remove these properties from their listings.
Disgusting!
I will cancel my bookings with AirBnb and stop using your service unless you stop renting out stolen homes! Bye bye Airbnb.
Airbnb – you need to develop ethical and moral standards!
wrong.Immoral,disrespectful,inhumane,sad,destructive.
Soooo wrong on so many levels. Profiting from the suffering of others. Despicable, immoral, illegal and should be punishable. Airbnb needs to stop those listings right away.
