This house shouldn’t even be here! Israeli settlements beach international law
Dear Airbnb, please stop advertising properties which have been built on stolen land from the Palestinian people. All people have the right to exist on their own land without persecution and degradation and therefore please remove all listings located in stolen Palestinian land as these could encourage the continued trade in these type of properties.
My son has told me about his successful use of airbnb in Europe, and I was considering using it. Knowing that this company is profiteering on stolen land, in contravention of International Law I will never, ever use airbnb and will pass the word how deceitful and untrustworthy they can be. Shame on you!
I will most definitely not be using airbnb while they are offering accommodation in occupied territories. Reprehensible.
This is disgusting. Not only is the dwelling illegal, the owners seek to make profit from someone elses land.
Real classy. I love sleeping on Palestinians’ crushed homes and stolen lands. It makes my stay just that much better.
This immoral, it makes me despair over man’s inhumanity to his fellow human beings.
you should be ashamed of the way you are handling yourself in a situation like this.
This is awful. Shame on you AirBnb
