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.

Not a Good Idea!!!
I don’t plan to enrich settlers who have illegally built on this land. I hope airbnb stops listing these properties, or I will stop using airbnb.
You will never find me staying in a home on stolen land and I won’t do business with a company that profits off it. Shame, airbnb (0/5)
This is an atrocity that you would list homes on property that has been the cause of such turmoil and upheaval, and will, sadly lead me to stop using your service, which I had formerly loved and highly recommended. Please do what is ethical and take down these listings, and issue a formal apology!
Thieves.
This is disgusting and disappointing
It’s about time this stopped. Many Palestinian people still have the keys to THEIR houses which have been stolen illegally.
You can help to stop this.
AirBnb should be ashamed of themselves and their greed!
You must let Palestinians live love and work in peace and this is going to have to be as neighbours
airbnb stop promoting this, stop putting money before human rights
