  • I think it disgusting that you would associate your business with land and home stealing, murdering arsehole. How in the world do you justify profiting upon a horrific situation like what is going on in Palestine?! As one of your account holders, I find this action not only disturbing, but rather disgusting!!

  • Don’t go there. Don’t stay there.

  • It’s time to stopp the settlements and not to support them

  • Why everybody talks about illegal settlements as opposed to Israel. Israel as a whole is an illegal settlement. Why should I recognize Israel as legal when it occupies my home?

  • More Banditry and Brigandage than bed and breakfast

  • You do not need the money AIRBNB so why are you doing it?!?!? STOP NOW AND SHOW SOME REAL LEADERSHIP. Go back to being true to your core values for a caring, sharing world!!

  • The cynicism and insensitivity Airbnb is displaying by listing rentals in the West Bank is appalling. How can a company talk about “the sharing economy” and claim to be all about “community” and respect while also profiting from human rights violations of the worst kind. Shame on you Airbnb!

  • This is very cool. It is seriously concerning that airbnb profits from what is illegal under international law, and what is also unconscionable under any reasonable measure. Goodonyou Sum Of Us for this site.

  • As people who care about human rights and international law, we ask Airbnb to immediately stop listing vacation rentals in Israeli settlements, all of which were built on stolen Palestinian land and deemed illegal under international law. Airbnb’s anti-discrimination policy states that they prohibit listings that promote racism, discrimination, or harm to individuals or groups, and require all users to comply with local laws. Yet, listing vacation rentals in illegal settlements promotes structural discrimination, theft of Palestinians’ land, and direct violations of international law. Through earning fees from settlement vacation rentals, Airbnb is directly profiting from the continuing occupation and dispossession of 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.
