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.

Terrible. Never going to rent from Airbnb again! I will not support the inhuman act of profiting off land that was stolen.
It’s so exciting to be able to stay somewhere illegal! Just the thought that I was on stolen land made me sleep so much better. And thanks to the governmental subsidies by Israel it was also dirt cheap. Try getting something like that in, say, London… And then the view! Really one of a kind. Thank you so much AirBnB for making this experience possible! You rock, and I think it’s totally fine that you make such huge profits.
One of the features of Airbnb that I like the most is the opportunity to connect with others. However, I would never stay in a property that has been taken away from oppressed people. Please disengaged from the occupied areas of Palestine.

Pull out of this deal,
. It’s totally immoral and repugnant.
It is totally unacceptable that these homes are offered through airbnb. I thought that air bnb had a conscious regarding being inclusive and with having earned 1 billion dollars last year it seems that money is dictating the direction not ethics and values which airbnb promoted initially and became so successful for. “our commnunity, your community” what about palestine who are totally marginalised.
!
Offering the homes on stolen lands to tourists, what a shame to the whole world.
Disgusting g and heartless
Rather than making money for Israeli settlers, please spend that £100 on building much needed homes for Palestians.
