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.

Holidays in occupied territory…
This is morally wrong.

It’s just wrong! Totally ,and in every way, wrong. Imagine this was your home that had been stolen and destroyed, and then not just taken over, but rented out. Cannot understand how you can do this!
do not booked those illegal housing. Think twice and don not support those owners.
It stinks!
Illegal lodging built on stolen land by theives and murderers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is disgusting. I like Air BnB and have used it on numerous occasions.
