Description

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.

Shame on those Israelis who are now almost indistinguishable from the Nazis by whom they were once persecuted.
disappointed to think that Airbnb is profiting off the rubble of demolished Palestinian homes. Please stop listing properties in Israel’s occupied West Bank. It violates international law and basic human rights! I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians.
AirBnb should not be supporting stolen Palestinian homes. Sort this out
I think that Israel should get out of Palestine, now.
I’m outraged that you could list these stolen homes and seek to profit from the misery, suffering and deaths of Palestinian people. Shameless and disgusting! Please see sense before this decision permanently damages your business and puts jobs in jeopardy.
Seems that people dont matter now
Absurd.. Scandalous. Never again will me and my friends spend money on ABNB
Shame on you airbnb!!!
Why would anybody want to line the pockets of illegal settlers? Not me. SHAME!
