Description

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

This is unethical and greatly disturbing.
This offer is appalling – how can AirBnb in conscience list a home on land that has been stolen from its original owners, so the thieves can profit from the apartheid practices of the Israeli Govt and aggravated by ‘settler’ racism and violence?
In any society with a basis in morality this would be illegal.
Right on the spot!
Restore the orchards to their rightful owners!
Shameful. Illegal. Wrong.
I think you should not try to rent properties that belong to Palestinians on land that International law and UNSC 242 resolution
has ruled illegally occupied by the Government of Israel. Please do not support apartheid, colonialism and occupation.
How can Airbnb justify offering a listing that is literally off-limits to its Palestinian customers? A pioneer in the “sharing economy” should not be party to racial segregation. This listing is despicable.
I am horrified that AirBNB could allow people who live in houses built on stolen and illegally occupied land to advertise their property on this website. I shall suspend my use of AirBNB until you change your policy, which is in blatant contravention of international law. Please think again.
I think that this issue is a crime against humanity. It is illegal to steal land andthen sell or rent stolen land.
