These listing are absurd. It is a grave injustice to capitalize off an oppressed people.
Airbnb, you can do better.
How would you feel if your land was stolen and had a house built on it to be let for profit by you and illegal settlers. Show some sense of decency and withdraw from all property deals in occupied Palestine
Stop listing vacation rentals located in illegal West Bank settlements.
How is this even allowed. Dirty dirty dirty at so many levels.
Terrible! Shameful.
The idea of renting a home built on land stolen from people who are living under occupation disgusts me. How crass can one get? The 10 foot high wall which serves to ghettoize Palestinians living under the brutal Israeli occupation is visible from the house, reminding people staying there that they are paying to be part of the occupation.
NO THANKS!
I’m indignant that you can blatantly rent out land from which the Palestinians have been forcibly been evicted, in violation of international law. This is exploitation on a very in-your-face scale.
Return the stolen land and the buildings you added to the rightful owners, the Palestinians that you stole it from.
