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.

This is criminal.
AirBnb has no place being here
do not promote homes stolen by illegal settlers. the are violating UN resolutions but no one seems to care.
For some, money is worth more than anything else so no matter what comment I make, its a waste of time
Come stay in an illegal settlement and you to can break International laws.
While your there let me suggest a few things to fill your time!
You could send some postcards to the approximately 7,460 Palestinians held under administrative detention that means held without charge.
Or you could try and explore house building in Palestine. After all someone has to rebuild the 300 Palestinian homes demolished in the first 2 months of 2016.
Or those of you with green fingers could replant the hundreds of olive trees torn out of the ground trees that Palestinians relay on for their income.
Then in the evening you can sit outside your illegal room and gaze at the fences the checkpoints and the wall…. you wont be able to miss it.. And during your visit you wont have to see a Palestinian once which is strange because you are in Palestine!
You cannot let what is not yours legally
Profiting from the suffering of Palestinian people who have to live in refugee camps because their homes have been taken.
Utterly disgraceful.
