Through fees earned from settlement vacation rentals, you will also help Airbnb profit from the continuing occupation and dispossession of Palestinians.

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.

I had some some affection for Airbnb but consider the brand toxic now. What a folly for Airbnb to whitewash apartheid….
Shame on you airbnb! You don’t care about human rights violations and people’s suffering, you just care about profit
Shame on you airbnb!!
Shame on you Airbnb.
This was a great place to stay while waiting for my permanent illegal summer home to be built. The stolen olive trees were such an authentic touch. We had some locals annoy us one day, but Israeli soldiers escorted them away at gunpoint. Thanks for making us comfortable Israel!
Airbnb should deny settlers to advertise their stolen homes in Airbnb’s homepage. Aurbnb will otherwise be connected to the discriminating apartheid system which is illegal under internasjonal (and for some of them Israeli) law. Shame on Airbnb!
It’s an absolute scandal, and a disgrace, AIRBNB
Excellent listing – I shalln’t use AirBnb until you stop this practise.
How can people find it on good conscience to go vacationing in a place of oppression and violation of human rights is beyond me. Please find a better place to spend your hard earned money and a better place to spend your hard earned vacation.
