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.

It is disgusting to see Airbnb is listing properties on stolen Palestinian land. This occupation is in violation with human rights and Airbnb with its lucrative business activities on this site is being extremely unethical. I will boycott Airbnb services until your business activities are no longer involved in Israeli apartheid crimes
Air bnb….. Yaay we can holiday on bomb sites and dismemberment sites and where ethnic cleansing is the new hygiene rating. Despicable You.
How absolutely horrific! It violates international law and basic human rights! I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians.
Methods to dislogde the Palestinians from their own country, become more and more perfidious.
I was born into a Jewish family in New York City and as a child aged 10 I danced with other children in Denver, where I lived, doing Israeli dancing to the music and celebrating the existence of Israel. That was 65 years ago…I am so sad and dismayed by what Israel has become…a fascist government which stole the livelihood and land of the palestinians for the last half a century, convinced that the Jews had a right to do that to the palestinians. Horrible and evil, what has been done…only violence and death will follow.
This is morally wrong. I shall not be using Airbnb until you withdraw these ads.
Do the right thing.

Knowing that you would profit from hurting other people in this way of dispossession would make me disinclined to use your business in any location or context !
I usually travel with AirBnB but stopped since I heard they were promoting houses on illegal settlements.
Please AirBnB, stop this so the world can believe in you once again.
It’s stolen land and shouldn’t be listed.
