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.

  • Hosts were charming and attentive. House was clean and well stocked. But a home away from home it was not. We hoped to see real local Palestinians but they were nowhere to be seen. How can Airbnb profit from renting on stole land when it’s charter is sharing our homes.

  • I have been a happy airnbn user since 2014 and ask you to stop having stolen homes in your service!!

  • I am a frequent user of airbnb and have enjoyed staying in it’s listings all over the world. However, I was horrified to read that airbnb is posting listings for home stays in an illegally occupied territory, that is in direct contradiction and violation of international law. The illegal settlements are a political move to eliminate Palestinian people, their homes, their lands, they sense of community, and their existence. To post listings in the settlements is a lack of morality and humanity, for the sake of profit on the part of airbnb. If this continues, I will not use airbnb again.

  • As an AirBB user, I would never stay in such a place. I hope other AirBBers regardless of nationality will boycott accommodations in the occupied West Bank.

  • ” Do unto others as you would have done to you”—you have no right to this land.

  • I have had a bad experience with airbnb in the past with them taking money out of my credit card for a property that was not available on my requested date and then having to wait 5 working days for the money to go back in again so am not surprised that they have done this.

  • My family and I could never holiday in a home built on land stolen at gunpoint from the lawful owners.

  • I will not support a business that promotes holiday lettings on land stolen from the Palestinian people. And will never use your agency to make any holiday bookings
    AirBnb has lost its moral compass by engaging in this activity, capitalising on the displacement and suffering of Palestinians. It’s unconscionable and I feel ashamed and disappointed that you would engage in this disgraceful exploitation of people being made refugees in their own country.
    Please reconsider the ethics in this enterprise and withdraw from Palestine

  • This is simply wrong. This home is on stolen land. If you do not care about the suffering & persecution inflicted upon the Palestinian people I would strongly advise you to remove this properties like this one from your page purely because your reputation will be damaged. I will stop using your site and ask my friends to do the same.

    • 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.
