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

The stolen home includes views of the West Bank Apartheid Wall.

Access is for non-Palestinian guests only. Guests with Arab-sounding names will be subject to additional scrutiny by settlement security.

Airbnb, we are watching you. We believe you can change, do things right.
I am disgusted. How would you feel if it was your house, your family and your land. Leave Palestinian land alone.
Wow! I didn’t know that Airbnb had an Apartheid Package! Pathetic Airbnb, simply pathetic.
I had a terrible stay, I felt guilty the whole time. Air b’n’b still took my money though.
I think I will not be able to live in this house at all. Every moment spent in this house, I will be reminded of the original occupants of the house; I will be reminded of their current situation, of their current suffering. I will feel like a sinner who ousted men, women and children from their own house to get a place to rest for himself. Pathetic. I can not stay in this house.
An appealing online service turned sour by this listing.
I think it is outrageous unjust and cruel to steal homes from Palestinians and rent them out to non Palestinians. Everyone needs a home that is thier own everyone deserves to be safe.
Why would anyone ever want to rent a house in such a horrible setting? It is beyond reprehensible and immoral – never mind, illegal, according to international law – for ANY homes to be built by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. And then to have to nerve to actually rent them out??? It boggles the mind.
BE CAREFUL Airbnb!!
This will not do!!
