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.

No thank you. How can you enjoy your holiday knowing that the house you rent now has been stolen from a family with children. Shameful!!!
Its an act of agression, neglecting the rights of the original inhabitants.
Nice, passing the savings from illegal land grabs onto me, the Customer.
i feel sick and queasy thinking of people spending a night or time in stolen land and property
how would they feel if it was their land snatched and then developed for profit while others are without homes and a farm
shame on these people
not only stolen but yours to rent for a modest cost. How outrageous and immoral
Anyone who considers holidaying on illegal stolen ground needs their head examined!!
Wouldn’t have thought that even for AirBnB it’s profits over morals. So disappointed.
THE ACCOMMODATION OF WICKEDNESS . . .
. . . . provided on illegal territory by illegal proprietors, but still promoted by Airbnb.
Avoid at all costs !
A general boycott of all Airbnb services may be the only answer to this travesty.
Other legitimate B&B providers on Airbnb’s lists will lose business over this. They need to put pressure on this disgraceful company to change its ways.
Since Palestinians are banned from accessing this property, I want no part of it – and no part of a site which supports this apartheid.
