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.

AirBNB listing vacation rentals located in illegal West Bank settlements = WTF!!
Outrageous that Airb&b are offering accommodation in houses stolen from Palestinian people by Israelis in illegally occupied territories. Do not book this. Do not go there.
I understand people who want to make a living using airb&b. I also understand you want to stay out of politics. The issue is, sometimes you are involved whether you like it or not. A negative image may be detrimental to your stock market activities. I recommend you to apply ISO 22301 “Business continuity” to deal with the risks, or even better: to prevent a major disturbance. I don’t say if it is right or wrong… so many people have an opinion that doesn’t solve any problem. I only advise you to act wisely.
Why not rent out some properties in Syria and Afghanistan?
I think you have no business benefiting of the suffering of others.
Shame on you airbnb. Shame on you. You capitalist pigs. Oink oink
By what disturbance of mind do these thieves believe it is ok? Shame on them.
I didn’t realise I would I would b staying in stolen property or on stolen land. It ruined my holiday and left a really bad taste in the mouth.
I have recently registered on AirBnb but shall not be using you for as long as you have illegal properties on the West Bank.
0/5 stars
In the last year I have used Airbnb on two occasions … in England and in Sweden, very happily. I am dismayed to see that properties in the occupied West Bank of Palestine are being promoted by Airbnb. Either you stop or I stop!
