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 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.

After reading this, I will NEVER stay at ANY airbnb listed rental. The fact that you are sanctioning rentals, in what is CLEARLY Palestinian territory, tells me everything I need to know about your company, and NONE of it’s good.
I love Airbnb and am disappointed that they have allowed these listings to appear on their website. What happened to their checking process?! These listings violate international law and basic human rights! I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally and I hope Airbnb crack down on them urgently.
This is illegal on so many levels, it is sickening.
Cease and desist!
This area should be for both Palestinian and Jewish residents of Isreal. Much of this area was settled by Palestinians and they should have their land returned to them.
Completely irresponsible & wrong.
No holiday at the expense of others!
Goodness me, How can anyone even begin to think it’s OK to holiday on stolen land, now that I understand all the ramifications I shall not be returning, nor will any members of my extensive
family . We all wonder how anyone can be so unethical or desperate that they think they might enjoy a break in that stolen land, swith the brutal killing going on around them. Your God is nothing like the God I believe in.
This is a discreace. I will not use airbnb again.
Outrageous, by your own property that was/is not stolen property !
