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.

Airbnb should take a stand here. FREE ENTERPRISE IS NOT A FREE PASS, since what we all do, including corporations, affects the kind of world we live in. In this case AirBnB is complicit in the interminable suffering of the Palestinian people. GET OUT .
I am appalled to hear that Airbnb is profiting from the rubble of demolished Palestinian homes. These properties violate international law and basic human rights! I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians (or anyone else!).
This is truly disgusting. Why would anyone want to support a company that promotes what is bullying and gross abuse of human rights. Get it sorted airbnb
These criminals are a horror for JHWH.
Because they proclame to do it in the name of the God of love it is preposterous!
This place shames the original ideals of Israel
Wow. Stolen land and quasi-colonialism really put me in a lazy vacation mood!
I have used Airbnb several times and really enjoyed it. However, due to this information coming to light I am outraged this is encouraged and approved and will no longer be using Airbnb. And I have shared this through Facebook and will be advising anyone that will listen that they should also not support Airbnb. This is disgusting.
There’s nothing quite as peaceful as laying your head on a pillow knowing that your comfort rests on the displacement and calculated genocide of an entire nation. Sarcasm score: 5 stars; Serious score: zero stars is too many so I give it a big Black Hole
Airbnb: build bridges not apartheid-walls.
Open the wall and create peace!
