Description

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

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.

Makes me very uncomfortable.
I wouldn’t subsidise property that is not theirs to offer! AirBNB shouldn’t be profiting from this illegal enterprise either!
I can smell blood eveywhere
This is NOT your land!how can you make money on an appartment on stolen land? This is totally wrong
Shame on you for accepting this listing on stolen land!!
I’m an airbnb host who is SERIOUSLY thinking of severing ties with this organization, knowing that this represents their morality
AirBnB est Pro colonisateur, soutien l apartheid, l argent plus fort que l humain, merite le boycott
Ahh, c’mon Airbnb let’s not get involved in this. It’s a conflict that goes no where. Don’t pick sides! -Shane
A disgraceful act by AirBnb.
There is no excuse for this and the whole world is watching it and you. You might want to prey to what ever God you believe in for forgiveness… or not.
