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.

Disappointing!! Airbnb. Have you no morals or conscience?
This is taking advantage of dis-possessed people and I for one would not consider renting under such conditions,
Have been using airbnb for 2 years and this is the first listing that I am giving a 0/5 (if I could give a negative star review I would). I was disappointed to hear that airbnb is profiting off of the rubble of demolished Palestinian homes. Please stop listing properties in Israel’s occupied West Bank! It violates international law and basic human rights! I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians.
disgusting. poor palestinians.
Is there anything airbnb will not do for money?
The place looked OK but as you approached then the stench of guilt from illegal occupation, stealing of land and water, discrimination etc. became overpowering. Not a recommended venue.
Think twice, airbnb …
I am absolutely appalled that AirBnb has stooped so low! I am seriously considering delisting from this company! That you would even consider adding properties in the occupied territories to your portfolio is beyond shameful!
you will do better if you behave ethically in all things
I use Airbnb. I would never stay at this listing. Use your conscience Airbnb and listen to your customers. Remove all listings on stolen Palestinian land. Don’t allow them to be attached to your name. Don’t be a part of a system that makes it ok. Don’t allow others to benefit from exploiting Palestinians.
