Shame on you Airbnb!
Shameless! That´s what it is.
I have used airbnbfor the past few years but I wont consider renting a home on land stolen from Palestinians. I wouldnt recommend to anyone either. Shameful
The house was big and luxurious, but the area is really noisy (lots of gunfire and the occasional shell), and there is an overwhelming smell of dead Palestinians. Wouldn’t stay here again, still having nightmares.
so you own a field- then illegal travellers decide to set up camp in it- you are unable to get rid of them and then some money-making mob decides to charge visitors & allow them to camp there too..!?!….This would not be tolerated on a small scale domestically,so why should it be accepted internationally ?
Have been using airbnb for 2 years and this is the first listing that I am giving a 0/5. It violates international law and basic human rights! I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians!
We will not consider using this service again until you withdraw these offensive listings from your website!
No thanks, I wouldn’t want to fund this at all, or support it or be a part of it, it makes me sick. Part of this violence, greed, racism, brainwashing, vulgar illness. It is against everything I believe in. I’m out.
If I knowingly buy stolen goods I become a criminal receiver. But if that’s a kettle at least I don’t rob someone of their home, their livelihood, their safety and their identity. So I won’t be renting. But then I wouldn’t buy the kettle either!
Outrageous, Disgusting, unbelievable.
From Oppressed and persecuted to Oppressing and persecuting others.
We teach our children bullying is wrong, yet there’s Israel being the No. 1 Bully on earth.
