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.

Great way to fund land theft and displacement.
Supporting illegal settlements which are against UN rulings are bad for business. I am boycotting Airbnb in future.
Not ok
What could make a stay more delightful than knowing the property was illegally stolen from its rightful owner who is powerless to get it back. Don’t colaborate with this terrible injustice AirBnb!
I have been using airbnb for more than 1 year 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.
Thank You for changing this in the future.
Shameless!!
Airbnb, I don’t agree!!!!!
Stop this soon, otherwise you will loose a true client!
Rediscover your moral compass AirBnB
As a new AirBnB member I was so shocked and disappointed to hear about this appalling lack of conscience. Until you can unquestionably assure me that all your business practices are held to the strictest ethics, I will not be using your services and I will not support people who do.
This violates international law, what a surprise doesn’t all Israel’s laws violate international law one way or another.
