AirBnB, do the right thing. Refuse listings from occupied territories!
So profit overrides humanitarian and ethical questions in this world now. Air BnB have sunk to the lowest depths with this cynical exploitation of renting properties on land that has been stolen in violation of international law. Shame on you! I won’t use AirBnB again.
Our family are boycotting ALL Israeli products including Hewlett Packard and Victoria’s Secret. Not until they end their illiegal occupation of Israel would we consider visiting Israel.
Being a globe-trotting playboy with more money than the Pope, I have stayed at numerous BnB’s around the world, and I have to say this was the nicest illegal BnB I ever stayed at. Once you looked past the Apartheid Wall, the views were spectacular. The local shooting range, rather than being a negative, was a blessing in disguise, acting as my alarm clock to wake me up at 7am every day, when the first rounds were fired.
A stolen home has never felt more homey, and while the Palestinians have lost their freedom, I’ve gained the freedom to stay at this sweet BnB.
I could look from my balcony at a vista of 30 foot concrete walls surrounding the local Palestine town. Over 3 checkpoints were in view with their lines of townsfolk trying to exit or enter their homes and go to their workplaces or reach their fields. I was very comfortable in my air conditioned host’s apartment with plenty of amenities. If I had known it was built on stolen land I would never have booked that location.
As an Airbnb host, I was happy to be part of an international hospitality venture but now I’m sad to find myself partnered with Israeli cuckoo-hosts on stolen Palestinian land.
Airbnb needs to decide what side of the fence it’s on and I dont mean literally. I think the orqanisation is a disgrace and should be banned internationally unless they come clean and live up to the democratic society from which they get customers and proclaim to be part of. As long as there is money involved some of the( maybe all) high morals dissapear,
Gat out of stolen land
I’m disappointed to hear that AirBnb is profiting off of the rubble of demolished Palestinian homes. Please stop listing properties in Israel’s occupied West Bank, it violates international law and basic human rights! I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians.
Leave the West Bank
