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.

Airbnb must act ethically. I rent rooms in my home through Airbnb and I will cease doing so if the company does not respond to these concerns. There are alternatives.
Very cramped. Local area not scenic- mainly rubble. High risk of death by bombing made it difficult to sleep at night. Sounds of women and children screaming and crying did not help. I’ll probably not be returning.
Shame on you Airbnb!
Stop to rent stolen apartments.
Who really would want live in that kind of places?
It is time for a change, We are all one.
Bad very bad
Parasites on human misery
The Palestinians are entitled to a homeland too. Surely, some empathy towards them would see that. Everyone needs to feel a sense of connection, belonging and needs to be safe and secure in their homes.this is is right of people! Please stop this provocative, divisive action now and show some warmth, understanding of these people.
Offering or mediating overnight stays on/in stolen property makes AirBNB complicit in illegal and/or immoral activities.
This behaviour should not be supported and I recommend AirBNB stop all offers of stays in stolen properties and or facilities on stolen land…
regards, Sander Tel. (not visiting Israel any time soon for (among others) the reason given.
Outrageous.
Stop profiting from ethnic cleansing!
