Description
Overview:

Through fees earned from settlement vacation rentals, you will also help Airbnb profit from the continuing occupation and dispossession of Palestinians.

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.

What a shame to confiscate the goods of others. I support the people that oppose to this way of acting.
Did you think we wouldn’t notice & speak up?
I have lived in Palestine and I love the people and the place. I also regularly use Airbnb. I am disgusted to hear that Airbnb are advertising locations in illegal settlements on the West Bank. These are stolen lands and properties : stolen by people who have no humanity or sense of justice and who will not allow the rightful owners to return to their country. Shame on you Airbnb. Rating now 0 out of 5
Lousy
This is unacceptable. Stop listing these rentals!
I think it is wrong to list homes on illegally occupied lands.
I’m a major user of AirBnB and have always enjoyed their services and the homes I have stayed in. This just leaves a very sour taste in my mouth – how can AirBnB support this. Unacceptable for a major business to knowingly be making money out of a situation where people that have been forced out of their homes.
Collusion in oppression. Won’t be using AirBnB while this is the way they operate
I’m sure this was once a beautiful part of the world but now it is nothing short of a war zone.
This land was torn away from it rightful owners and is now being illegally profited from.
This overrides all other considerations about this site.
