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.

Profit on the backs of the dispossessed is so politically correct, not!
I will never use airbnb as long as they profit off the misery and stolen land of others.
No profit in abuse
Tragic that the owner(s) seems to feel he/she/they has a right to live in such a place.
I will be boycotting Airbnb as long as it continues profiting from illegal rentals in the occupied territory.
it’s ok, I suppose – if only your conscience allows you to sleep at night
Your business practices already put guests and homeowners at risk, casting a shadow over your reputation. Your willingness to participate in the exploitation of the dispossessed people of Palestine for profit only makes that shadow bigger and darker.
Profiteering off illegally invaded and occupied land in Palestine and excluding Palestinians is intentional racism and greed. Shame on Airbnb for supporting the intentional genocide by evil Israeli colonialists.
shame on you.
I may not be brilliant but even I know that is a bad idea
