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.

Americans have been complicit in Palestinian land theft for many decades.. Shame on us.
Why can’t these people live together????
Those who profit from a people’s removal from their homeland deserve both our contempt and boycott of their business until they change their execrable behavior.
AirBnB is making a huge mistake to offer homes in racially segregated areas. It is sad and disappointing that the leader in B and B rental worldwide is choosing to offer homes like this. Please change your policy on this immediately. I will not use or recommend ANY AirBnB properties until this offensive policy that disregards human rights is changed. This is disturbing and a terrible step in the wrong direction for AirBnB.
The idea of renting holiday accommodation, which has been stolen from the original owners, makes me feel sick! Learning of this, I will never stay in an airbnb property. I will also make sure everyone I know is aware of this situation. 0 stars for this appalling behaviour!!
Money makes the world go round… why not building borders against illegal business instead against people… put people first and leave this ugly business airbnb!
I will only access businesses that demonstrate respect! This place is awash with blood.
Shockingly selfish
So now AirBnB supports thieves and murderers? Shame! I thought better of you.
