That Airbnb will allow people to list properties at any cost is so horrible. It’s greedy, and doesn’t match with their sweet “sharing economy” slogan. I could go on and on…so sad.

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 think that it is absolutely deplorable that a company would make money off of someone else’s misfortune! Shame on you! I may not use Airbnb again!
SHAME on you.
Shame on you AirBnB–you have lost me as a customer!
Such a shanda! Your Mother is getting verklempt; stop being a momzer already! It’s time to be a mensch!
As an AirBnB host, my experience has shown me that the company absolutely *rocks*. However, this is really upsetting and makes me think that AirBnB aren’t aware. Surely this is a 180 degree turn away from their ethos. I have faith that they’ll stop this insanity, for the sake of humanity.
Pretty sad state of affairs. Do not recommend staying here until the rightful family moves back in.
No Airbnd listings on stolen lands! Delist them NOW!
Disgusting. Stealing land from Palestinians. Your God must not be very proud of how you treat people that were there first before you stole their land. Boycotting AIRB&B
The commercialization and leisurification of human and political tragedy is wrong. I enjoy the services and opportunity to see the world differently offered through Airbnb, and I hope that this is a simple oversight that will be rectified. I may need to reconsider my future use of its services otherwise.
