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.

I have been using airbnb for only a year but this is the first listing that I am giving a 0/5. It violates international law and basic human rights! I would never rent a home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians.
UNCONSCIONABLE
“My Family has been using airbnb for a few years and this is the first listing that I am giving a 0/5.
It violates international law and basic human rights!
I would never rent a holiday home built on land that was illegally stolen from Palestinians.”
This sucks. Cut it out.
I would prefer to see this property inhabited by The Palestinians from whom it was taken
No wonder terrorism never goes away because Isael, Western Europe, U.S. and corporations like this are taking away the land, job, living away from those Arab people.
Throughout the world, I think anyone who even has a marginal awareness of what is going on in the West Bank, condemns the action of the Israeli Government in going ahead with building Israeli settlements on land that was supposed to be for Palestinians, despite global outrage . The apparent fact that this company appears to be benefiting from this crime is really quite horrifying. If the Palestinians had an option of comparable resettlement in the West Bank with Israeli financial support, the situation would be more acceptable, but as it stands it is quite deplorable.
Stop listing illegal settlements that have been stolen from the legal owners
How long can we let this go on? Is not all human life precious?
