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 when I want to use Airbnb anywhere, I would NOT USE IT UNTIL THE ISRAELI SETTLEMENT “AVAILABILITIES” ARE NO LONGER ON OFFER!
The homes they build are built on stolen land. Palestine does not belong to Israelis or anyone except Palestinians. Communities are being fragmented and destroyed both physically and mentally so more homes and land can be stolen. All advertisements for homes in this land must stop. In fact, this entire land invasion must cease!
This airbnb is really not ok…
Have some class, AirBnb. You’ve already ruined housing markets in certain areas and some neighborhoods. Do the right thing.
Example of an Illegal Israeli Settlement being rented on AirBnB..Should the proceeds go to Palestinians to rebuild their homes?

One would think after ww2 they would understand what being persecuted means, but instead…
I want to continue using AirBnB in good conscience.
Please stop including illegal settlements in your offerings.
This has to stop. We shoul.d all be boycoting
Israel products until the Israeli stop stealing land. Stop the aparteid.
An uneasy sleep. Complicity in grand theft and ethnic cleansing leaves me uncomfortable.
How. Could I enjoy a holiday on the back of such suffering No Way.
