Description

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.

Access is for non-Palestinian guests only. Guests with Arab-sounding names will be subject to additional scrutiny by settlement security.

I think the concept of Airbnb is a good idea. But offering accommodations located in illegal settlements, simply is not right!
It’s a pitty, would have been interesting to try airbnb someday. But that is impossible under the current circumstances.
GREED IS THE UGLIEST HUMAN EMOTION!!!!!!
No one should rent an Airbnb site under these circumstances and Airbnb should never allow a site in this part of the world to be registered on their site.
There is a pervasive odor in the house…smells like…hypocrisy.
Two things:
1. Why are you staying on illegally occupied land?
2. Vandalize the shit out of that place!!!!!
do not support illegal settlers homes
For shame, AirBnB! This property is in Occupied Territory. It sits on stolen land. How would you feel if your land was taken from you by force, your home bulldozed down and your olive grove destroyed? How would you feel if the people who had illegally taken your property started using it to make money from tourists? For shame AirBnB for listing such a property!
Keep off stolen land!
Airbnb don’t profit off this illegal occupation. It is horrendous enough that the Israeli government does.
