Description
Overview:
Stay at your own vacation rental, located in an illegal settlement and in violation of international law. Support structural discrimination and theft of Palestinians’ land. Through fees earned from settlement vacation rentals, you will also help Airbnb profit from the continuing occupation and dispossession of Palestinians.
The Neighbourhood:
This home is located in an illegal Jewish-only settlement. These settlements are built by Israel on Palestinian land it has occupied since 1967, and are considered illegal under international law.
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.

Terrible
Doing business in illegal settlements is in violation of United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. It requires respect for Human Rights. Israel violates international law building illegal colonial settlements in its military and brutal occupation of Palestinian territory in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
i will ban your services in my tenants leases.
You’re violating international law.
I’m a user of your services as a guest and my 3 family home in Park Slope. Brooklyn has hosted guests through AirBnB. If your policy does not change, I will write into the leases of my 3 tenants who have been hosts for your company that no tenant shall ever host guests through AirBnB and that if they do, it will be grounds for eviction.
Spot-on!
Terrible and inhumane.
This is outrageous. How callous and inhumane can one get?
Disgraceful.
Airbnb is not bringing people together by violating international law and facilitating a perpetuation of the illegal Occupation.
Airbnb is making money off of the dispossession and enslavement of a people.
