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.

Hey, AIRBNB, you could be more disgusting, you know, if you assaulted the Palestinians yourselves.
I won’t be using airbnb.
Communities create laws so people can get along. The UN & other organizations have condemned the Israeli occupation. Promoting business in a way that violates laws or agreements does not help resolve the conflict.
Airbnb demonstrates that it is completely bereft of any morals or ethics by supporting Jewish thieves and invaders.
Airbnb stop listing vacation rentals located in illegal West Bank settlements.
Why should anyone want that which belongs others?
This is appalling and needs to be stopped in its tracks!
When Airbnb allows hosts who are clearly in breach of natural justice in this way, it damages Airbnb’s standing and runs counter to the website’s ethos of mutually supportive communities. I realise making a ruling on this issue will set a precedent that could become awkward, but the alternative is likely to do more harm in the long run.
Calloused exploitation and illegal profiteering.
