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.

I will boycott airbnb for as long as they make money from stolen lands.
Airbnb is exploiting the human rights violations of Palestinians by renting our their stolen homes. Shame on Airbnb
I am afraid I would not be able to take the accommodation you are offering as it clearly does not belong to you, and because you obviously support apartheid.
I was deeply saddened to learn that this home was built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians. The listing violates international law and basic human rights and must be removed immediately.
If I were to go anywhere and be able to use AirBNB, I would NOT. i would spend more money at a legitimate hotel/motel than even consider airBNB. Actually have stayed airbnb but not ever again.
Stop listing vacation rentals located in illegal West Bank settlements!
It’s really sad when a company claim to fight for its rights, but at the same support who steals others. It’s called hypocrisy.
I am utterly disgusted by this. How can you justify making people, women, children – the elderly homeless for your own gain and profit??? It’s completely wrong you have to PLEASE STOP THIS!!!!!
This is a very nice house in quite a desirable place but it’s a desperate shame that it was stolen from its rightful owners and I won’t be using it.
I care about whose house I stay in and I want them to be ethical and to respect the rights of others, including their right to a peaceful life in their own place.
