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.

  • I just started using Airbnb and am appalled to hear it’s supporting the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. I am reconsidering using it for an upcoming trip. Please take a stand, Airbnb!

  • I’ve always suggested people use Airbnb over a hotel, but now I dissuade people from using Airbnb due to this issue.

  • Offensive and wrong. Like all of the horrible treatment and oppression happening to the Palestinians for many years, though current state is more extreme.

  • This place sucks. Do not stay here.

  • Making money by renting stolen property is perverse and reflects adversely on all those involved, especially airbnb. I have just removed airbnb from my list of favourite travel sites.

  • Do unto others, as you would have them do unto YOU!! Sickening behavior, to good people!!

  • This is absolutely shameful. Please check in with your morality and your humanity and do the right thing.

  • I have used AirBnB since it started and love the people I met this way. But will t after discovering this. I will not give a single cent to it as long as this goes on. For me it is NOT morally acceptable to give my business to a platform that supports this.

  • Blood money, pure and simple.

  • Before you judge your brother, take a walk in his shoes. How would you feel if this were the sight of the home your family had lost?
    Occupied by bullies.

    • About the host, Airbnb

    Last year alone Airbnb made almost $1 billion in revenue, and Airbnb is worth a whopping $24 billion. Yet, Airbnb continues to make a profit from homes located in illegal housing settlements in occupied territory.
