Profiting from the despair, bullying, stolen property of Palestinians and sense of entitlement, cruelty, racism of Israelis as perpetrated by Israelis is disgusting, unethical and should be punishable. I would never use Airbnb

Description
Overview:

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.

Despicable!!!
Always go towards decency!
I have never used airbnb, i never will.
The company has no ethics.
Stop you occupation of the west bank!
This property should not be listed with Airbnb. It is outrageous that Airbnb and the occupiers of the home could profit from the theft of the land and eviction of the rightful owners.
I will be spending 7-8 months in Europe this year and whereas I had intended using Airbnb, now, having very serious reservations about the company, I will almost certainly avoid doing so.
I will be avoiding AirBnb listings until I see that this behaviour is ended. Completely unacceptable.
Have recently had my first airbnb experience but I am extremely disappointed to learn that it is listing (and making money from) properties built upon the sites of stolen and demolished Palestinian homes. As an airbnb customer I would ask you to immediately stop listing properties in Israel’s occupied West Bank – by doing this you are supporting a practice that has violated international law and I am shocked that airbnb is part of this. Please take a stand on this incredibly important issue airbnb – we await your response!
I have never used airbnb and never will. Why? I was appalled to hear that it is profiting off homes located in illegal Israeli housing settlements in occupied territory. Please stop listing properties in illegal settlements built on stolen Palestinian land.
You are on the path to repeat a horrific mistake. In 1835-1837, the US removed millions of Native Americans from their homes and businesses (stores, ferry’s, plantations, farms, etc) given to Europeans through a lottery. High death rates, suicides, and attempted genocide by the US government ensued. Do not repeat this horrific act.
Your company is worth more money than you know what to do with, and to have to STEAL LAND FOR PROFIT????? come on…… Have a little respect for Palestine
