Why do you offer listings on occupied soil? Please, Stop this!
I’ve been a great supporter of airbnb for some time, but have found that their support of Netanyahu’s policies which not only steal Palestinian homes, but also, allow Israeli “settlers”: to profit from this theft, to be so offensive, that I no longer use any of their services. A great idea soiled by greed and exploitation which shows airbnb to be the exploitative agent that it, in fact is.
stop listing vacation rentals
I’m sorry I ‘m not capable to solve this on my own. Success
This is the first listing that I would give 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.
I think it’s disgraceful, and that land I know so well is getting ruined more each day
Shame on you !
What a shame airbnb chooses to profit from properties situated on stolen Palestinian land. With much travel planned in the near future, I would have liked to use the company as a cost effective way to find accommodation, but the cost to Palestinians is too high. I won’t be using airbnb anywhere in the world until this situation is rectified.
What greed to allow people who steal others homes go then seem to profit further-immoral and illegal!
I do not like the fact this is a listing on an illegal settlement
So sad, so sad and so sad. Where is compassion, where is mercy, where is God? Not here for certain.
