Legality:
Get out, Airbnb. This is illegal and i won’t use your rentals again until you do the honest and decent thing. please stop.
Because of your apparent lack of interest in Truth and Justice, Airbnb, not only would I not rent one of your offerings in the West Bank or anywhere else you have listings supporting the breaking of International Law, I will NOT use you at all – there are other options out there. And, I plan to inform my travelling friends about your blatant disregard for Human suffering!
This is a travesty. If this doesn’t change, I will stop using Airbnb myself and spread the word to all of my former guests, as well as everyone I know. Airbnb should be ashamed of this.
I’ve never used Airbnb and never will! This is nothing short of DISGUSTING!!!
No one can justify profit from theft. The settlements are illegal under International law and Airbnb are complicit by advertising properties in the occupied territories.
“No Airbnb for me”
No Airbnb in occupied lands!
Dear airbnb, please stop advertising properties that violates the human rights. Please promote peace and love in countries that requires more ROOMS for connections and comfort, like the way you have advertised your business.
Best regards, Ricky
This is outrageous Its go against humanity and only encourages extremist behavior in others. so short sighted and arrogant.
I am a Palestinian who cannot return to his land, and it is hurtful that people from across the globe have more access to my family’s lands than I do. It is shameful that airbnb is profiteering from an unethical and illegal practice by allowing their activities to continue in the occupied West Bank.
I had the opportunity to use airbnb on my travels with my friends. However, after finding out about their complicity in the occupied Palestinian lands, we are all boycotting them until they are no longer present in the occupied West Bank.
