Thieves!
I didn’t support apartheid in South Africa in the 80′s , I’m certainly not going to support it now
I could not stay at a place such as this knowing the land on which it stands was stolen from a stateless people, who now are blocked from their own country by a monstrous wall. Have some moral courage, Air BnB, do not list properties such as this. You rely on a grassroots following for your business and networks, but networkers like me won’t have a bar of these properties
I’m an avid traveller and was thinking of using airbnb for my next trip. Now that I know airbnb is listing vacation homes on stolen and occupied lands of Palestinians, I am not going to use your service ever. It disgust me to know that airbnb is making money of these poor Palestinians who have their homes and land stolen from them. You are supporting the war criminal, Israel, (the real terrorist) in making the lives of Palestinians a living hell and this is unacceptable!! Wake up world!!
Stolen houses…By Israeli settlers.
Money above ethics. Way to go. I will not be giving my business to airbnb anymore. I’ll discourage friends as well.
Renting land that is not legally owned is problematic and unethical. Apartheid continues to exist in Occupied Palestine; your company should not enable these systemic forms of oppression.
I spent a horrible night in a home built on stolen land. I could sense the spirits of all the Palestinian people who lived here before.
I had a dream that night that all the stolen land was returned to the Palestinian families that were the rightful owners of the land. I was so sad when I woke up and realized it was only a dream.
This company’s ethics, Airbnb, stink from the head down. Shame, shame shame!
