Description

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.

Pitiful. I want the Palestinian family that built this house to be able to continue to live in it.
My husband and I have used Air BNB a number of times in the US and in Costa Rica and have been so impressed and pleased with the accommodations. I am NOT impressed with this listing….terrible to try to profit on the misfortunes of others!! Do not use this place!!!!
Terrible. AirBnB should drop it from their site or at least turn it into a protest
I don’t think it is appropriate to holiday on stolen land it is sick
This is terrible! Stop it! Give it back to the Palestinians.
illegal
Stop the illegal settlements.
Hurry, this may be your last chance to visit an illegal Israeli settlement. Lots of illegal settlements to choose from. Savour the excitement of living on the blood-soaked soil, keeping the proper inhabitants from their homes and livelihoods. You’ll love it
Didn’t think much of the view – concrete wall filled my window. The smell of “incremental genocide” was also pretty nauseous.
