The stolen home includes views of the West Bank Apartheid Wall.

Access is for non-Palestinian guests only. Guests with Arab-sounding names will be subject to additional scrutiny by settlement security.

It is criminal that this land is available for holiday homes when people’s homes & lives have been stolen from them to create them. Shame on you!!!
Don’t build on land that isn’t yours.
Give them back their land.
I am not Jewish and some of my friends are Palestinian but they would not be allowed to visit me there. My Jewish friends would not come as they disapprove of the illegal occupation of Palestinian land. I will not use airbnb anywhere else, whilst they profit from this.
It is disgusting that homes are stolen and the west bank is being illegally occupier, you should stop listing vacation rentals located in illegal West Bank settlements.
AirBnB shouldn’t stand behind state-wide bullying and human rights violations.
bad
Do NOT support illegal settlements. This would never be supported anywhere else.
Just stop the listings
