AirB&B is operating at a new low in this macabre offering. Profiting from the empty houses that belong to Palestinian families who have been forcibly displaced against International law. I give this a zero, minus rating!

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.

Building on this land is a disgrace. Shame on you for offering these properties to let.
This is state sponsored theft of land and any profits should be sent to the people driven off their land.
Thanks, but I’d rather not stay in a place on stolen land. Yahweh does not like this sort of thing.,
Please do not publish ads posted by residents of the illegal settlements in the West Bank. They should leave and return the land to the Palestinians.
Not good. Stand up for what is right.
There I was, foolishly thinking Airbnb was an ethical company – seems I was wrong, they’re happy to profit from the forced displacement of Palestinans. Please stop listing these illegal residences. Until this happens I won’t be using airbnb again, and I had planned to this year. Shame on you
Shameful to be using and promoting a property which has been forcibly removed from their rightful owners, and against international law.
No morals or regulations means I have no interest in airbnb. Certainly not there, and now not anywhere. No thanks.
Gave me nightmares of the homeless and starving people who actually belonged here.
