Well I’ll never use AirBnb again seeing this…
A wonderful view of a concrete wall means that you cannot see the Palestinians who have been illegally evicted from their own land. 24 hour armed security ( a must in these parts) made me feel so secure.
I’m staggered that such a seemingly well-meaning organisation would include this type of property in its listings! This has put me off using your service.
I have never used airbnb and never will. Why? I was disappointed to hear that it is profiting off of the rubble of demolished Palestinian homes. Please stop listing properties in Israel’s occupied West Bank.”
That is illegal. Airbnb shouldn’t be profiting from rentals from illegally occupied territories controlled by Israel.
I will think very carefully before I stay at another AirBnB and I intend to make people aware of your scheme.
Its time for a change.
great view , nice walls
Shame on Airbnb for being willing to rent out stolen land. Not using for the time being until this stops.
How can any sane human being be happy living on a property where innocent kids was murdered, peoples lives were destroyed, peoples livelihood was taken away from them! Can you imagine even ralaxing knowing all these suffering happened by the brutal hands of the Israelis just so that you can have peace!? How can anyone have peace knowing all this!?
Well the only thing that comes to mind, you don’t have a heart! But you do have a heart or how else could you buy a property? It must be a heart of stone!
If you persist in buying and living on the heartache of innocent people then I wish you will have nightmares instead of happiness!
I come from an Apartheid state, South Africa, and I see daily the aftermath of the Apartheid and greed!
PLEASE THINK!
