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

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

But are you sure this is not some sick joke ?
if it is not,it is shocking and apart from being extremely racist racist, it is tantamount to offering stolen goods and is clearly against all the airbnb declared principle of ‘BELONG ANYWHERE’ which clearly does not go for the Palestinians who by inference ‘BELONG NOWHERE’
Wow! Your chance to condone and fund war crimes! Have a peaceful sleep surrounded by the ghosts of generations of displaced people – many of them imprisoned, tortured, beaten… thousands of them murdered. But wait. They deserved it, didn’t they? ‘Cuz they have a different religion. So enjoy your stay. Keep building up those kharma points to cash in during your next lifetime – maybe as a Palestinian?
Disgusting that Airbnb is making money off the suffering of so many people.
Once I realised where I was I couldn’t sleep all night and wanted to leave immediately. How dare they pretend that this is acceptable.
Please stop listing property in illegally-occupied Palestinian land.
The occupation is in breach of international law and UN resolutions.
Rather tasteless, knowing that this is all stolen Palestinian land. Never thought much of ‘airbnb’ anyhow.
There are only two words which could describe this occupied settlement: totally appalling. The Israeli government is appealing to fear in order to build up a racist apartheid state in which Palestinians will be denied the rights of citizens and will become desperately impoverished should the present Israeli government continues its anti-democratic and dictatorial policies.
horrible!!
I am very disappointed that this kind of commerce is going on by illegal settlers. I am an airbnb user and I would not book this one.
