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.

Summary

Justice:

Legality:

  • I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians. Please stop listing properties in Israel’s occupied West Bank.

  • Bad value for money. While the house itself was all right there was a dreadful sameness to all the neighbours who seemed smug and self satisfied. Didn’t like the gunfire in the distance. Didn’t like the people. Would not recommend.

  • terrible! terrible! shame on ISRAEL.

  • I see Airbnb is showing its personal interest in …..What process of decisions can deem this okay?

  • This issue, like every other modern issue of moral importance, is related to human rights violation. The human rights of people everywhere need to be respected and protected by law. The Palestinian peoples’ human rights have long been neglected and trampled on. The matter being currently discussed is just one more horrible example. Any reasonable person would want a human rights-based peace not only in Israel/Palestine, but in any other region of the world where one group of people’s (or even a few individuals’) human rights are being violated.

  • The imagery is brilliant.

    I am however, completely lost as to what “Whole House, 8 guests, 4 beds” refers to. It’s slightly vague, and I feel the designer is “Projecting” – in that, you know what it refers to because you are daily and deeply involved. All those that view this will not be. Maybe if you re label the “Whole House” to something more concise. Is it the House of a Palestinian who has been evicted illegally in what ever way, to make way for the illegal settlement, or is it the House that will be built as an illegal settler’s house? It has to be much clearer.

  • I would not spent the night in a stolen home. Please do not profit from ethnic cleansing.

  • I am an AirBnB finatic for over 2 years and tell all my friends and family how amazing it is, and have encouraged many to try it for the first time. I no longer feel comfortable giving recommendations for this business if you are profitting from listings for homes and/or land that have been illegally taken from Palestinians. This is wrong, AirBnB, and I want no part in this. Please put an immediate stop to this so I can once again promote and book lodging with your company.

  • This listing turns my stomach.

  • Stop listing rentals in illegal west bank settlements. This land was stolen from the Palestinians who lived there previously. I am retired and find airbnb interesting but this is unacceptable and I would never use it if this is their policy.

    • 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.
