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.

  • Is there no justice in the world?

  • Beautiful view from the window. I couldn’t see the Palestinian people at all. My hosts explained that it was necessary to dig up the ancient olive groves belonging to the previous owners because they might come along to harvest their crop. It’s a shame that there is an unsightly wall all around the property and everybody seems to expect to be attacked all the time, as if they were burglars living in someone else’s home. But they assured me that the West Bank is part of Israel really, whatever international law says.

  • It is contemptible that a billion dollar company would stoop to listing properties on stolen land. Your ethos is supposedly built on a trusting relationship between ‘host’ and ‘guest’. This is not possible when the host has been forcibly removed from their home and lands. I will NOT be using your service.

  • VERY depressing. I didn’t realize that by renting here I was contributing to the continued subjugation of hundreds of thousands of people. As they say, “NEVER AGAIN”

  • I am appalled at the idea that airbnb would actually offer a home occupied by illegal settlers, effectively encouraging their clients to vacation in a stolen home. I sincerely hope that this current state of affairs will be swiftly terminated by airbnb or I expect the company”s reputation to be grievly tarnished

  • Please stop helping thieves profit from their thieving.

  • My partner and I have been using airbnb for several years now, but I’m going to think twice about using them again after they support illegal settlements on Palestinian land.

  • Theft by any name is still theft.

  • I am appalled that airbnb is operating on illegally occupied land.

    • 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.
