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’ve been using airbnb for 6 months and this is the first listing that I am giving a 0/5. It violates international law and basic human rights! I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians. Boycotting now!

  • Israeli policies have resulted in apartheid for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza and second-class status for Palestinian citizens of Israel. Listing properties in settlements, which the entire global community views as illegal under international law, violates Airbnb’s own strong anti-discrimination policies.

  • This is so helpful. Thank you to this owner for the honest description of what this is. In looking at places to stay, I would never choose a place on someone else’s land that has been stolen in a brutal illegal occupation. I think Airbnb should never cooperate with renting out stolen homes on stolen land. 5 star listing.–for honesty. 0 star listing for desirability.

  • This is appalling. Thanks to SumOfUs for shining a light on this issue!

  • It’s bad enough that illegal settlements on stolen Palestinian lands continue to grow. For AirBnB to profit from these stolen homes is disgraceful.

  • Stop illegal settlements in Palestine!

  • Why is Airbnb profiting from occupation, land theft, and dispossession? Not my idea of a vacation rental.

  • There’s no delicate way to say this: Airbnb’s rental suites are literally built on the rubble of stolen homes, orchards and fields, and displaced communities and families. At least 48,000 Palestinian buildings have been demolished to build homes where only Jewish Israelis are allowed to live — and now dozens are listed on Airbnb. Airbnb needs to stop listings settlements like this now.

  • That’s terrible that Airbnb is listing vacation rentals on stolen Palestinian lands.

  • 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.
