Very disheartening to think Airbnb think they are entitled to profit from the misfortune of the destruction of Palestinian families and their homes. Very sad. Ruthless play at work.

Shocking! How can a business get away with this! Won’t ever be using Airbnb
Airbnb promote their holiday properties as ‘a home away from home’. What I’m not happy with is staying in a property where the legitimate homeowner has been forcibly evicted so that an illegal owner can move in and profit from it.
it would be shocking to guide people to stolen (disputed) areas on the left bank.
Another shining example of the disgusting levels of hypocrisy committed by Israel.
Very poor of Airbnb to allow themselves to be involved in this.
When will people realise that love will conquer all, you can’t eat money and harmony is the only answer to the problems of the world. United we stand together, division is the destruction of humanity. Wake up!
You can dress up “illegal” with all the comforts of home, but it’s still illegal and should belong to the Palestinians.
The illegal occupation of Palestinian land by Israeli settlers sickens me… Airbnb making a grubby little corporate profit from the misery of the dispossed and disenfranchised is just disgusting… sort your shit out you parasites…
Disgusting! Foreign investors making money off of stolen property. This needs to be illegal!
Expose injustice.
