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

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.

vacation settlements on stolen land – have a word with yourself Airbnb !
immoral, unjustified, anacceptable
I have used and loved AirB&B for years! And I have heartily recommended it to family & friends. But I was shocked to learn that it permits rentals of stolen property! Please correct this terrible error immediately. Or I will be advising everyone to stop using you. You are so much better than this. Please listen. Thank you
Impossible to sleep soundly on stolen land – it’s haunted by THE LIVING!
I’m a fan of airbnb, so I was very disappointed to hear about the listings in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, which violate international law.
Airbnb is supporting and profiting from the theft and destruction of Palestinian people’s land and property, and by listing these properties it is endorsing racial segregation.
0/5, two thumbs down. Get out of the settlements!
Home was well enough furnished. There were plenty of fresh towels but I found the lack of ethics distinctly uncomfortable. The background noise of builders and illegal landgrabbers made it hard to get uninterrupted sleep.
Disgusting. Cruel. Unconscionable.
I will not rent through AirBnd until this option is removed!
This is an illegal settlement on stolen Palestinian land, Shame on you!
