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.

Airbnb must not legitimise their business by allowing properties to be listed in illegal housing settlements in political occupied territory. It is wrong.
Airbnb, a “revolutionary” site dealing in thievery and racism. Oh yeah, REALLY revolutionary.
Not appropriate in any way!
Disgusting – I am appalled by this. You have lost my business.
So disappointing: well done SomOfUs for bringing it to the world’s attention. Airbnb – shape up, de-list the property and make a public statement
This is what we call ‘heling’ in Dutch, the selling of stolen property. Pilferage? Sorry, my English is not that good…
Investing in stolen land is cruel and inhumane.
This is disgusting. I have used airbnb 5 times this year, No more
I would not step foot on this stolen land. You have very thick skins if you think that fair people would have a nice time here. Give it back to the Palestinians, stop your greed.
