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 you are now in “bad standing” – drop your affairs in this case and go home….

  • If listings of stolen Palestinian homes don’t violate AirBnb’s terms of service, they should. Allowing this is allowing continued war and theft of property, livelihoods, neighborhoods, lives. Not to mention, just the discrimination alone — really?

  • I would feel ashamed to stay in this area

  • Any company that would be greedy enough to do this is not a company that I will do business with.

  • I have used Airbnb in the past, but as long as you persist with this shameful behaviour I will not be using you again!

  • I don’t want to stay in a place where people profit from other peoples misery

  • What you are doing for profit is immoral to say the least! In other situations, you would be arrested! Stop this abuse of poor victims of occupation due to war! How can you sleep at night? I know many travelers and will tell them about what you do and to avoid you when they travel.

  • The occupation of land stolen from settlers is immoral and the listing and renting of these properties on AirBnB is reprehensible.
    AirBnB should NOT allow this, should NOT be complicit in an immoral action.

  • To stay in an @Airb&b in illegal occupied territory makes people complicit in the apartheid state ofIsrael. Don’t do it. Feel better with a clear conscience.

  • It’s deplorable and I’ll rethink my use of Airbnb as a regular customer if they do not change this policy. I’m hoping to see a change in AirBnb soon or I’ll stop using it permanently

    • About the host, Airbnb

    Last year alone Airbnb made almost $1 billion in revenue, and Airbnb is worth a whopping $24 billion. Yet, Airbnb continues to make a profit from homes located in illegal housing settlements in occupied territory.
