I think the whole issue is disgusting.
Israel is an Apartheid State
AirBnb keep away from stolen land
land stolen illegally, violates international law and basic human rights. Never thought that AirBnb would profit off demolished Palestinian homes.
I find this whole situation to be sick and disgusting. It is literally nauseating to me. Airbnb ought to be ashamed of themselves. (Although I’m sure the only thing they worry about is profit, and nothing else.)
I am a host with Airbnb, who offer a good service generally, however I am deeply saddened, disappointed and disgusted with listings in stolen lands and property. Pull of of this outrage now Airbnb, before people start to boycott you.
Illegal settlement
It violates international law and basic human rights! I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians.”
Even the thought of renting this place makes me sick to the stomach. Airbnb may be impartial, a-political, but where do we draw the boundaries of what is humanly acceptable? I don’t know how this could be policed, but it is an important issue the administration of airbnb needs to consider.
By staying in these places, you are supporting, financially and politically, an action which is immoral, unethical and illegal. Don’t facilitate activity which adds to the problems of the Middle East.
Airbnb should not be making money from homes on stolen land. I would not pay to stay here.
So Airbnb are making money from stealing other people’s land?
This is why I prefer Tripping.com!
