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.

a shameful disgrace
Don’t think much of the view and not impressed by the smell of corruption and illegality.
I have only so far used Airbnb once. However it is very likely that I shall not use you again ever if you continue to profit from the death and misery of the Palestinian people.
As an Airbnb user, I wish Airbnb would show a conscience and refuse to list properties on illegal settlements. It’s not right, it’s not justifiable and it’s not honorable to make money out of stolen land. Perhaps I should start boycotting AIrbnb in the same way as I boycott other companies who are involved in the area???
Disgusting, sadistic, inhuman.
Vacation accommodations on stolen property? Was this policy invented by Netanyahu or the Mafia? Unacceptable either way.
I was shocked to learn that this accommodation was built illegally under International Law, and is now being let through Airbnb, on land stolen by Israel from its Palestinian neighbours..
The accommodation can best be described as a luxury prison built to protect its criminal constructors from the dispossessed.
I do not understand how any one could enjoy living here, even for one night, in the knowledge of its part in the brutal subjugation of the Palestinian people, the annexation of their homes, their olive groves, businesses and land.
I would not stay here if Airbnb paid me a million pounds.
I have used Airbnb in the past but will now add it to my boycott list.
Its awful thing, Airbnb please DO something
Stop renting other peoples stolen homes
