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.

Disgusting and illegal
Would you like to stay in house that has made someone else homeless? Well this is your ideal resort then!
Air B and B – do not list homes built by illegal settlers!
Palestine belongs to the Palestinians, not to illegal settlers who violate international law and human rights! Shame on airbnb!
WE HAVE USED AIRBNB AND HOPE TO CONTINUE BUT ONLY IF YOU STOP LISTING ON THE WEST BANK. IT IS SO PAINFUL TO KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE PROFITING FROM TAKING LAND AWAY FROM OTHERS. YOU MUST STOP SUPPORTING SUCH PEOPLE!
Sympathise 100%
The property was as described but I didn’t think much of the view or the smell – it suffered from the strong stench of misappropriation. Will not be back or recommending. 0/5.
Please stop listing properties in Israel’s occupied West Bank. I am recommending to my family and friends that they boycott air bnb unless this changes.
I am an Airbnb host myself – it is really important to keep Airbnb ethically sound and this activity in Israel breaks ALL the hosting ethics. Shame upon them
A stollen home is no good place to host
It’s easy to see here how capitalism exacerbates, perhaps even causes, the humanitarian disasters occurring around the globe such as this theft of land and displacement of people. Despicable.
