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 typically use Airbnb several times a year but I may not in the future since finding out about these illegal rentals in Palestine. I strongly feel Airbnb should not be involved in the illegal treatment of the Palestinian people.

  • I have long been horrified at the growth of illegal settlements on Palestinian land. This Airbnb is a perfect example of getting visitors to be participants in the oppression of the Palestinians.

  • This is absolutely ridiculous! If this is illegal by international law, how is it continuing? This must not be allowed to go on. No one should be allowed to profit from oppression. We, as a people, are still so far from the beings we can be. All the violence and evil acts of our history have taught us nothing – we continue in the same despicable way. When will we learn?

  • I just rented my first AirBnB with a friend in Miami. While we were well pleased, I can assure you that we will not rent another until this issue is resolved. Do not provide rentals on illegal Jewish settlements…..

  • We are sickened by airbags support for Israel. You must get out and now would be a good time.

  • We in Canada have known about the criminal persecution of the Palestinian people by the state of Israel for quite some time. Personally, I would not be a client of any organization that bulldozes the homes and orchards of the Palestinian people. We consider that Stephen Harper was wrong to support Israel. Instead the International Court in the Hague should be prosecuting Israel for their genocidal policies.

    • 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.
