As a user of Aibnb, both as a host and as a traveller, find it very disturbing that this service does no have any sense of civic responsibility. I demand that Airbnb consider such listings as unwanted and withdraw them from the service

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.

Horrible! Despicable! Do not go!! Do not support this!!
Terrible to list this sort of illegal settlement down as a viable option
Illegal
Hypocrtical
Unjustifiable
Just because you believe God promised you this land thousands of years ago, doesn’t mean you can be compliant to the Israeli forces aggressively bulldozing Palestinian homes and farmlands to build your home!
Absolutely dreadful! This property violates international law and basic human rights. AirBnB should remove the listing immediately and stop making profit from illegal activity. No excuses.
You are clearly supporting a genocide which is pretty ironic given the area. You need to re-examine the moral centre of your company before it ruins you.
I planned to use airbnb 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.
Shameful! Get the hell out of Palestine AirBnB!
I have stayed in many Airbnb places most of which have been excellent, but this is by far the worst I have ever experienced. The hosts had cruelly evicted the rightful owners from not only their home, but also had destroyed their olive trees – their only means of livelihood. Please remove this listing. If you do not, I shall have to seriously consider whether I use your services again.
This is stolen land! You are renting out holiday homes from thieves who taken others lands. How dare you!
