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.

  • This property should be given back to it’s owners, the Palestinian people. Shame on you Airbnb!

  • It’s very disappointing to see Airbnb listing in illegal settlements. This is stolen land from people who have been stripped of their human rights. Don’t let greed get the better of you Airbnb, think again!

  • 0/5 This land was stolen from the Palestinians. Then they are banned from using it. Shameful !

  • I will not stay at any property owned by a company that derives profit from theft of other people’s land and heritage, and from the continued harassment of the dispossessed.

  • I have not yet visited this property. I am not sure that I could enjoy myself in an area where so many original inhabitants feel dispossessed. I know the owners will probably have a form of reasoning that justifies the possession of such a house. International law certainly does not agree with them. It is the brutal means by which their view is allowed to predominate that upsets me most. I would not willingly give my custom to humans without pity or charity. But hey go ahead. The view looks lovely. Enjoy yourself.

  • As a member of the AirBNB COMMUNITY, I am appalled that you are allowing housing that has been stolen in the long drawn out war between Palestine and Israel to be used on the West Bank …
    It’s completely immoral that people homes that have been illegally stolen from them are we utilised in this way .
    I urge you as a global organisation to show to desist in this practice …

  • Terrible. Money hungry. Heartless.

  • This really hits a new low as any company or organization that permits itself to profit from human misery, human rights violations and injustice will not be receiving any business from me! Please show some integrity and end this practice in order to help bring peace to all people in this troubled region of the world!

    Thank You

  • It is shear cruelty and gross injustice!

    • 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.
