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.

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.

Capitalizing on genocide???!! What is wrong with you people???
This is a gross violation of human rights.
Disgusting.
This is TOTALLY wrong and quite FOUL. It completely violates all sense of decency and seriously undermines AirBnb’s reputation!
We can stop war (assymetrical or conventional) by addressing abuses like this economically or diplomatically. But we have to make our leaders act, with constant pressure and communication. You, AirBnB, have a role to play here. Stop these listings.
These settlements are illegal under international law and are causing a lot of suffering to thousands of people. I find it disgusting that Airbnb offers housing there.
I missed the Iron Curtain, the apartheid in South Africa, Spain under Franco. Even Burma/Myanmar and Cuba are not what they used to be. There remains North Korea and Israel.
I saw the AirBnB founder on the Daily Show and loved him and the idea. Then I learned that they list homes in Palestine built on land from which Palestinians had been forcibly removed by the occupying Israeli Army. Since our unconditional military support for Israel’s 65-year occupation was the main reason for the 9/11 attacks and has been a reason ever since the founding of Israel for Muslim dislike of the U.S., I was horrified. We should support Israel’s armed forces ONLY if they end the occupation, stop building the Wall, which runs down the MIDDLE of Palestine, not between P. and Israel, and make some amends for all of the stolen land.
very disappointed to see that Airbnb lets are being offered in illegally occupied Palestinian lands. I expect the management of Airbnb to ensure that this does not continue.
Deeply disturbed. May Allah have mercy on Palestinians and grant them a State with 1967 borders & freedom from Izrael.
