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.

Guest Access:

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

  • I think it is scandalous that Airbnb profits off the backs of Palestinians displaced by illegal settlements in the West Bank. Shame on Airbnb!

  • Hello, please be respectful of peoples homes, thank you.

  • I have never used Airbnb and never will: I’m not into paying thieves, nor profiting from discrimination. Now I’m spreading the truth about you until a change in policy.

  • Not worth it, better off staying at home, looked great on paper but the immense feeling of guilt and shame at the injustice of the situation was too much.

  • Never treat other persons like you would not like to be treated.

  • Shame on you for even living here.

  • I shall not use airbnb again while this situation remains.

  • my airbnb username is samhowardwilliams, i have used your service before but will not use it until this is set straight.

  • Well, words almost fail me! How chic to have the wall there, so I’m constantly reminded how disgusting it is that I could stay here at the cost to the owner/occupiers of their homes and any possible happiness.

    • 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.
