Description

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

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 have stayed in several airbnb properties but won’t be using the service again if they continue to list rentals that are built on the illegal demolition of Palestinian homes.
I’ve been using Airbnb for the past 4yrs to market my properties but in light of the marketing of stolen Palestinian homes on Airbnb I am now considering using other letting sites and will do so if Airbnb does not cease promoting these stolen homes.
I would never stay there, and this sullies the reputation of airbnb. I’m disgusted!
Has the added bonus of being entertained by seeing the daily humiliation and oppression of Palestinian families
It is truly saddening to the extreme when the people upon whom my religion is based carry out such vile acts of community destruction, ill will, and usurpation unjustly upon others in society, their neighbors. It is no wonder that the Prince of Peace, who grew OUT from your heritage declares that such a different-purposed world should be our ultimate aim. I read the Old Testament and continue to be aghast that these people continue to commit sin over and over and over again without ever learning the error of their ways ultimately. When will a New Generation evolve which surpasses the old testimony in Grace and Love. Peace and WISDOM are being prayed for you in the final analysis.
I would not rent or stay in any property if i believed it did not belong to the people who where advertising it for rent. And the same would apply if it was a palestinian doing the same with a jewish property.
This land haa been stolen from the Palestinians – it is not right to compound this disgusting thievery by making money on it?
And we wonder why the world has so many problems. And we wonder why people despair. And we wonder why people hate. And we wonder why no one cares. America stop this stop this now. Stop supporting what you know and what you know the world knows is wrong.
Ugh! How horrible! You expect me to stay in what is tantamount to the graves of people murdered to build this “home”? In what is a war zone? Where my sleep could be disturbed by bulldozers? You must be a con man or a sociopath and I don’t want anything to do with you or your listing.
Lovely ambience, great views… Who are you kidding airbnb? Get your fingers out of that horrible bloody pie, NOW!
