The WEST BANK!?! Are you insane? I hear there are still some Native Americans who’s land hasn’t yet been stolen. Maybe we can steal their land and build a tourism industry there ad well. Or how about Chinese occupied Tibet? Surely there is money to be made by kicking out the monks and renting out their temples.
Sleep well – on stolen land!
Sweet dreams – on cruel command.
May your hearts realise that there will never be peace with this orders and this approach.
No puede ser cierto (It can’t be certain)
It supports theft.
Shocked and appalled that a company would even think about doing this. You should be ashamed of yourself Air Bnb.
I have stopped using AirBnB as soon as I heard about it profiting from illegal properties.
Got a holiday coming up and will not use its services, which is a shame as it was a good site before that, having used it 3 times in the past.
So long.
No lo puedo creer (I can’t believe it).
This is beyond deplorable. It is no different than offering Bed & Breakfast accommodation at a recently constructed luxury villa in a South African village during the apartheid era there.
This BnB is literally “a steal”. Built on land stolen from a Palestinian family who had dwelt here for dozens of generations before Israel occupied it and forcibly removed them. They then bulldozed the original house and its olive grove and gave the land to illegal settlers in direct contravention of the Geneva Convention. Whatever you do, do NOT stay here or you, too, will be violating international law.
