Description

Overview:

Through fees earned from settlement vacation rentals, you will also help Airbnb profit from the continuing occupation and dispossession of Palestinians.

The space:

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

  • As a Jew, I find Airbnb’s listings highly offensive. Shame on Airbnb! “Never forget” is meaningless if we don’t remember Palestine and Palestinians also have a right to exist on their own land, in peace.

  • It’s horrific that you are legitimising this system!!

  • DO NOT RENT THESE PROPERTIES!
    I am a member of Airbnb and use the service a few times per year. I am also Jewish but I’m completely opposed to Airbnb aiding the theft of Palestinian land by allowing Israeli settlers in the West Bank to list on Airbnb. I am horrified that Airbnb is allowing hosts living in illegal settlements in the West Bank to rent homes on Airbnb. In direct opposition to any claim to build community or connection through Airbnb, your company is profiting off the denial of Palestinian human rights, and helping to sustain the settlement economy.
    These homes, let alone renting them through Airbnb, stand unequivocally in violation of international law. We call on you to cancel all rentals in these illegal settlements immediately.

  • The bed was really squeaky, and I had trouble sleeping just knowing that the rightful owners might burst threw the door at any minute. I want my money back airbnb! with interest!

  • This is wonderful. How do I post it on Facebook? I didn’t see a “share” and am new at this

  • As a 4 yr. member of Airbnb, I’m asking that they do what is right and stop renting homes in occupied territories. Creating the world that we dream of is not supported by injustice to Palestinians.

  • Not a place I’d want to stay….

  • A nice rental in a beautiful apartheid setting. What could be better for a few days of R&R.

  • I think the listing is brilliant, and I send my thanks and congratulations to those who composed it. In my widest dreams I couldn’t have wished for better. It goes right to the point.

    • 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.
