Description

Through fees earned from settlement vacation rentals, you will also help Airbnb profit from the continuing occupation and dispossession of Palestinians.

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.

Murderous and illegal. Stopped using AirBnb.
I had thought about using the Air B&B website for booking but having this brought to my attention I will now not be using them
I cannot believe that a reputable company is offering accommodation on land that has been illegally stolen by Israel. Even the UN agrees that this land is stolen, which means that you are Violating International Standards by offering this accommodations.
Disgusting. Airbnb should not facilitate illegal settlements.
Doing what is right cannot be centred around profit or money. Air BnB, if they are your guide you are seriously lost! Grab yourself a moral GPS and get back on track.

unjust and shameful and illegal.
This is disgusting…Airbnb clean up your act!
This listing sits on illegally appropriated land and is supported by subsidies from an oppressive, discriminatory government. I do not recommend it.
