Despicable.
This listing is despicable. You can’t attempt to legitimise Israeli occupation of land stolen from the Palestinians by offering it as a home-away-from-home for a vacation. Nothing doing!!!
I just retired and am starting to use airbnb. I was disappointed to hear that it is profiting off of the rubble of demolished Palestinian homes. Please stop listing properties in Israel’s occupied West Bank.
I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians.
The illegal occupation of Palestinian socereign territory contravenes international law as does the illicit expansion of the state of Israel into Palestinian territory. This constitutes a major breach of Palestinian rights of sovereignty. Furthermore, The current Israli governments strategy to build Israeli privates properties on a large scale in the small remaining Palestinian territory represents a further premeditated attempt to occupy non-Israeli territory in a clear bid to oust Palestinian citizens and residents from their ancestral homeland. This represents a clear case of ethnic cleansing on the part of the Israeli State. This practice must end now and all international laws and instruments must be respected in relation to the human, civil, political and territorial rights of the Palestinian people in line with internationally accepted Standards.
I Have been using and highly recommending airbnb for more than 8 years. I am disgusted to find out that you support the violation of international law and basic human rights! I give this place a 0/5 . Shame on you and any one who rents, make a profit or holidays on illegally stolen land.
sickening and awful
Disappointed to learn that AirBnb are including homes in illegal settlements. I hope people will boycott them.
I think this is abhorent and disgraceful!
Please stop with this illegal and unethical business. Too much damage is already being done in our world. It has put me off using Air B & B for any reasons, unless business strategies change. It is a great shame.
