I guess airbnb is joining the Boycott, Divest, Sanction movement, but not willingly and not in a way that will enhance your company’s profits. You’ll be going the way of SodaStream…. Too bad your execs have no conscience and are morally bankrupt.

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.

The information in this listing is so outlandish and horrific that at first glance, one could only assume it is a parody advertisement that has no validity whatsoever. The fucked up thing is that it’s based of real AirBnB listings, and it is merely uncovering a suppressed narrative.
How can Airbnb justify offering a listing that is literally off-limits to its Palestinian customers? A pioneer in the “sharing economy” should not be party to racial segregation. This listing is despicable.
I will NEVER stay at an Israeli home on stolen Palestinian land.
Don’t you realize the karmic causes of the holocaust are just being recreated again. Love and generosity is the only answer.
Dear air bnb team
I really love your concept but I’m very sad to read that you violate international human rights law by supporting the occupation by renting out homes in occupied territories.
Thanks for stopping this practice.
If you only care about profit, I won’t even consider staying one night in a stolen property.
According to Noam Chomsky, Palestine is “the largest prison camp in the world”
Only the people whom this land belongs to should be living in it. Advertising it like this for anyone else is more than ridiculous. I don’t know what more to say.
any illegal settlement is disraceful
This is an illegal settlement.
