Through fees earned from settlement vacation rentals, you will also help Airbnb profit from the continuing occupation and dispossession of Palestinians.

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.

“Would not recommend, found it very difficult to sleep at night. Little to no social conscience, and could not find a moral compass anywhere. ”
It must be made clear that it is not okay for any company to profit off the suffering of others; Airbnb should understand that particularly in today’s age, this sort of pathetic and irresponsible business behaviour does not go unnoticed. Listing accomodation on stolen property is a clear reflection of the kind of thinking behind airbnb, and it reflects a dark mark against them, which I will not forget when I got travelling next. Regardless of who sees my post when I share this on facebook, I will spread their heartless reputation where ever I travel.
if breaking the law is your thing (and marginalising 100s of 1000s of people) then this is the place for you! Airbnb should be called steal a room, not rent one.
This listing violates international law and basic human rights. I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians. I am surprised at Airbnb!
Greed and opportunism by these people and airbnb. No way i will be using airbnb again while they support this despicable profiteering.
I will never use airbnb anywhere for anything if they continue to list rentals of stolen homes and lands in the occupied territories.
Blood suckers
AirBnB should NOT be dealing stolen property. It is against the law; against international law!
I am missing the beautiful peaceful olive grove destroyed for your ignorant wall
I find it absolutely horrifying that you would sell vacation properties in homes stolen from innocent people, disrupting their lives forever.
