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.

No Thanks–I’m not interested in staying on ‘stolen land’- SHME on you AIRBNB.
I would tell those creeps who stole the property to go eat shit and bark at the moon!
It was cold.
I am shocked that Airbnb supports the illegal occupation of the West Bank by advertising rooms for rent on Palestenian land. Mine is not a radical view of the legal status of this land. It is the view of the United Nations.
“I just retired and am starting to use airbnb. I was disappointed to hear that it is profiting off of the rubble of demolished Palestinian homes. Please stop listing properties in Israel’s occupied West Bank.”
Very disappointing to learn of this.
This is thoughtless, insensitive. How can you charge for what’s not yours. Stealing
I think it is appaling to think of such a good business idea being used to support the illegal occupation of Palestinian lands. I will stop using this service if Airbnb does not end listings of properties in Iseaeli- occupied areas!
I am thoroughly disgusted to read about this latest move to isolate the Palestinan people even further, on what used to be their own land until it was stolen from them in violation of International law. This whole business idea is SHAMEFUL.
