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.

It sucks!
What a shame to have a beautiful home like this taken away by Israeli settlers. Shame on them!
Doesn’t sound at all good. The review looks about right.
You shame the world.
Disgusting! Shame on Airbnb!!
I think this is despicable.
ILLEGAL
Could I rent out the home of the owners of AirBnB to someone else? That would be equivalent to renting a Palestinian West Bank home from an Israeli.
It’s interesting to look back to 1947 to see how Israel has treated the Palestineins. Why isn’t the World leaders stopping this greed for their land and the war against those defensliff people.
