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.

Outrageous. Disgraceful. Immoral.
Dear,
it’s strange that an organization like Airbnb prefers to build on stolen land.
The Organization had the opportunity, to make it clear that it is not right, that this kind of horrible unjust practices happen.
We ask the Organization to withdraw and to choose justice!
Best regards,
This practice is disgusting and totally immoral. It should not be supported by anyone. Find a decent way of earning a living!
The conflict in Israel is horrible and supporting it in anyway is pure wrong. These properties sound like something awful that should be avoided at all costs.
I really enjoyed my stay in this settlement, the thought that I was making a profit for a monster gave me a thrill. We all love discrimination don’t we, it really helps to calm down tensions between different factions.
All illegal built or occupied homes in the West Bank should be returned to the Palestinian people. It is a disgrace to advertise them as holiday homes.
This is so wrong not to mention illegal. How would you feel if you were a Palestinian who hadbeen forced off their property, then saw it bulldozed and then madea holiday destination.
Hi
Think the Airbnb is a great concept and I know what lengths you go to to check out your hosts and guests credentials. Can only think this is an oversight by Airbnb and will be corrected?
What a shame ! Give back their land to Palestinians
