Scandalous and beneath human standards!
I will not be using AirBnB for future vacation rentals unless they stop profiting from stolen Palastinian land. It violates international law and basic human rights! It’s just plain wrong!
More damage to World Peace….thanks to airbnb and the evil part they play.
This property is on stolen land. It’s on land in the West Bank in an illegal settlement. All Israeli settlements are illegal, inland stolen from the Palestinians who had lived and farmed there for generations, and to whom this land was moreover allocated to the Palestinians after the 1967 war. More and more land has been stolen from the Palestinians in the West Bank through the construction and expansion of illegal settlements. People with a conscience and who are law-abiding should not rent any of these properties via airbnb. 0/5
I am so disappointed to hear that AirBnB is supporting the illegal occupation of Palestinian land, and profiting off the suffering of human beings. It hardly seems necessary for business. I am getting married this summer, and listed AirBnB properties as potential accommodations for my guests, but will have to remove that suggestion at this discovery. I hope things change.
Airbnb, I’ll admit I love you. I’ve been using your services for over 6 years….I know you’re better than this. I’m a fan of the “sharing economy” not of racial segregation. Do the right thing.
love airbnb but don’t love this..won’t use again if this doesn’t stop
Is this for real?
Disgraceful, airbnb profiting from Palestinian land stolen and then built on by Israelis helped by US funding and support.
I thought airbnb was a more ‘ethical’ company – I will not be using airbnb and will tell my friends to avoid this immoral company!
