Description

Overview:

Stay at your own vacation rental, located in an illegal settlement and in violation of international law. Support structural discrimination and theft of Palestinians’ land. 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.

Guest Access:

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

House rules

All those would could be perceived as Arabs must be accompanied by armed guards while in the Settlement, for their own protection.

  • Great place – such a shame for the dispossessed owners. I’d hate to have my home nicked for well-off tourists. Bloody ugly great wall marrs the scenery.

  • Shame on AirBnb for accepting listings for properties built on the stolen land of Palestinian people. This is the moral equivalent of supporting slavery.

  • Put yourselves in the shoes of the people whose land you have stolen and built on – and just see how you would feel if that happened to YOU!

  • This is not correct. It’s sad to see that this good site supports questionable situations. If this is the policy of airbnb I will choose other sites with the same services.

  • Lack of humanity. Really sad that you’d resort to this and think this is acceptable behaviour. Disappointed and won’t be using you again.

  • Airbnb you need to maintain your sense of integrity and fair play. You can’t promote accommodation on stolen land. Becoming a partner to immoral and illegal activities – theft is theft, -and it is a very slippery slope into unethical behaviour. By default you are as guilty as Israel. You need to lead the way and demonstrate moral behaviour.

  • Isn’t this technically profiting from crime? The occupations are illegal, so the homes being rented out are criminal gains and renting them must surely be a form of receiving stolen goods. Therefore AirBnB is inciting criminal acts by advertising them, or conspiring to commit a crime. I had been thinking of using AirBnB, but now no longer.

  • Have a vacation in a graveyard

  • I couldn’t stay in this place with a clear conscience and don’t know how anyone could!

    • 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.
