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.

Craaaap.
This is a disgrace and I certainly won’t be using Airbnb after learning this.
It is up to companies such as Airbnb to not legitimize the illegal occupation of stolen Palestinian land by profiting from it.
I am not happy Airbnb allows listings in such an area.
Nice house but I was completely put off by the view – a big grey wall – and all the skeletons in the closets.
Was considering listing our newly converted gite in southern france on airbnb, but have changed my mind. Couldn’t possibly be part of a set-up which colludes with a system which is tantamount to ethnic cleansing.
NO STARS! Absolute shame on you Airbnb….
I had considered using your company for an upcoming holiday in Paris. Let me assure you I will never use your company with blood on your hands. I have today told a complete stranger whom I was speaking to at the hairdressers who was equally appalled and is going to cancel her reservation with you and I will make it my business to tell everyone I know.
Horrible!
What more could a dehumanist like me want! I love the feeling of power and dominance that this place gives me. I recently stayed in Damascus but here it’s better! Everybody’s like me and there’s no killing! What money and power can buy -like here! I love it! Give me more!
why would anyone want to become an accessory to theft?
