The stolen home includes views of the West Bank Apartheid Wall.

Don’t even think about staying here – on illegally occupied land.
It’s time for Israel to recognize and live with the borders the world gave it in 1948 not the boundaries that existed pre Masada
As a jew I am appalled at the actions of Airbnb.
The Israeli government are so close to being Nazis there is little difference.
Airbnb, you need to for once put ethics over the bottom line and show some humanity.
Immoral and unethical!! I had considered using airbnb for future overseas stays, however this has totally changed my mind. No way!!
It’s a shame!I
It is time Israel and Palestine take this issue to international court. If Israel “disputes” the legalities or lack thereof of the situation, it should be able to defend that in court.
It would feel like it was built on a cemetary
This is just a dramatic example of what has happened all over the world. I hope this petition starts a wave of awareness as to what is really going on.
It is very unsettling to be in a home sitting on stolen land. I can’t help feeling the hosts are selfish and uncaring about the fact that they are taking advantage of the theft of that land from its real owners. Would never visit again.
It’s dis heartening how the world watches such things happen in this day and age and do nothing. Is this not colonisation in 21st centre?
