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 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.

Legality:

  • I wonder if Airbnb consider this listing to be perfectly legal? Is it illegal to steal land from Palestinians? Presumably Israel thinks it is. What do the United Nations say about it, and does Israel really care anyway?

  • Well AirBnb, you’ve lost my business for life.

  • I’ve been registered with Airbnb for many years, so am one of those who promoted it when it was still just starting up. I now think you are tarnishing your reputation by advertising rooms in Israeli occupied territory. There should be limits, business must be ethical; dealing with hosts of properties gained through a blatantly hostile takeover is not ethical. Effectively, you are profiting from genocide.

  • The views were repressive and it stank of indecency. Felt extremely uncomfortable and the cries of anguish meant I couldn’t sleep a wink

  • I find it very sad that an organisation like yours promotes illegal settlements to holiday makers. No one taking a holiday should be put in the position of condoning illegal actions unknowingly as is the case in the Israeli occupied areas.

  • AirBnb should be about respecting others. To offer accommodation on ockupied land is not about respect.

  • Now very disillusioned with this company

  • How Dare they,,,,,Really ! Don’t they have any regard for what is right ? May be they feel they are a Big enough Corporation that they can ‘do’ whatever they choose, even usurping people’s Homes !!!!

    • 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.
