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.

I was thinking about start
As a regular traveller on Airbnb, I am appalled that homes built on illegal settlements are advertised here. Please remove them immediately and respect international law.
I think it’s disgusting. Would not recommend visiting!
I would never rent a home that was built on a land stolen to Palestinians!
I am deeply concerned!
Please, can AirBnb explain why they dont respect international law ?
I find it utterly sickening that an organisation that is supposedly offering an “alternative” to the current exploitative capitalist model, can even consider offering homes stolen from displaced Palestinians by the Israeli state. It is comparable to slavery, in making money from human misery.
No one should profit from ill gotten gains. The land is stolen. Give it back. And until it is returned no one should profit from this encampment.
This is a disgrace.
“I am retired and have been using airbnb both as a host renting my own house in Melbourne and to as a customer when on holiday. Until I have been very satisfied with airbnb but am so horrified to hear that it is profiting off of the rubble of demolished Palestinian homes that I have unlisted my home in Melbourne and will no longer consider using them. I feel it would be immoral to deal with such a company when I am horrified by what Israel is doing in the West Bank. The fact that I am Jewish makes me even more horrified by the actions against the Palestinians by Israel and ashamed of my religion. I could not continue to deal with airbnb under such situations. Please stop listing properties in Israel’s occupied West Bank.”
It is such a shame that we do this other human beings. You should be so ashamed of yourselves. Hell is here on earth forget afterlife. Judy
