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.

  • I’ve used Airbnb before, but never again unless you stop this abuse!

  • I try to do an ethical audit of whatever I consume (as far as is reasonably possible). There is no way I would ever seek to ‘holiday’ on stolen, occupied land in an apartheid state, which has seized land, demolished homes, diverted water sources, and practised countless acts of collective punishments on the original inhabitants – including on-going indefinite detention, & the imprisonment of children. This ‘vacation rental’ utterly disgusts me – thank goodness I’ve just heard about Wimdu, & need never use Airbnb again.

  • Cupidity is not what makes your heart tick.
    Think humanity and sharing, for I know who you are, what you are and how you serve.
    Welcome to Love.

  • This house is actually on Palestinian land, and is a stolen property, do not stay here

  • How about you come and kick me out of my house in the UK and rent it out for £50 a night?

    Same thing really but you wouldn’t do it would you.

  • I love Airbnb but this is the first listing that I am giving a 0/5. It violates international law and basic human rights! I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians. This kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable and disgusting.

  • I think this is the worst rental I’ve ever seen advertised. This is a war zone and occupied territory. Whoever is leasing this rental is doing so illegally. Air BnB should also suffer consequences for knowingly advertising such illegal rentals

  • What a charming place to stay – that is, if you don’t mind supporting the theft of land and the dispossession of the real owners.

  • “I have started using airbnb and I’m shocked to see this. It violates international law and basic human rights! I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians. Have you no integrity? heart? soul?”

    • 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.
