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.

  • I can’t believe that people, that is Airbnb and those Israelis who have built on illegally occupied land, are now making money out of the same illegal act. It defies belief in anything good in human nature.

  • This definitely isn’t the attractive marketing blurb that would appear on the Airbnb website but it is a very apt description. It’s hard to believe that anyone would wish to spend any time at all in such a place knowing the dreadful history of how it was acquired. Certainly not what I’m looking for…

  • To be honest it made me feel sick. You know this land has been stolen. You are colluding with the illegal settlers. (In your quest for profits) Shame on you.

  • This needs to stop. I have uninstalled the airbnb app, and I won’t use your services again as long as you continue to profit from illegal settlements in the Occupied Territories.

  • This charming location sounds lovely, and the gunfire is sure to add that authentic ambience. Perfect for those wishing to fuel Palestinian anger and reward the illegal actions of a rogue nuclear state.

  • Hard to credit that a reputable company would allow,

  • humans have been given a brain to negotiate diplomatic solutions instead of war and force.

  • I own a holiday home that I was about to list with Air BnB. This is making me look for alternative marketing methods. I have also used Air BnB for my own holiday accommodation but will not be doing so again until this situation is resolved. Come on, Air BnB, stand by international law and stop this.

    • About the host, Airbnb

    Last year alone Airbnb made almost $1 billion in revenue, and Airbnb is worth a whopping $24 billion. Yet, Airbnb continues to make a profit from homes located in illegal housing settlements in occupied territory.
