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.

You no good! You stop now and be good? Good!
Israelis have stolen from the Palestinians in order to illegally obtain the land this property is built on. Sickening. Shame Airbnb.
Unconscionable that you are involved in this. I think you should read about the ramifications of selling/profiteering on agriculture/land stolen from the Palestinians according to international law.
I have never used AirBnb before but I was considering it for a stay on Greek side of Cyprus. I will never use AirBnb while they continue this practice on stolen Palestinian land. It would be similar to my staying in a property that belonged to the Greek Cypriots on the northern Turkish invaded side of Cyprus. I would rather sleep in a tent on free land than stay in a home built on stolen land.
This sounds great! Maybe next, AirBnB can list the residence where Vladimir Putin tortures oligarchs before he disposes of them, or the prison in Argentina where so many dissidents lost their lives. Ooh, I have it: how about that mountaintop hideout that El Chapo used in Mexico? They all seem to be on the same level of barbarity.
shame about the view from the bedroom window – all that concrete. Won’t be recommending airbnb to my friends.
How low will you go, AirBNB? Stolen homes for rent? I will visit various parts of the world, but I will NOT be staying with AirBNB!
Airbnb: Stop taking advantage of a terrible situation!! It’s disgustingly greedy, not unlike Israel’s illegal annexation of Palestine.
Those are illegal settlements… please don’t rent to homes in illegal settlements in the OCCUPIED West Bank
