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 have been an Airbnb host for a while now and enjoyed meeting people from all over the world. Now I find out that they’re allowing hosts in the Occupied Territories to advertise. This is very disturbing. I would like to hear from Airbnb that they will withdraw permission from such hosts. If they don’t, I will consider withdrawing myself.

  • Airbnb should respect all people instead of allowing illegal thieves to profit on the blood, destruction and chaos the Palestinians are living in. How dare they also state that only non-Palestinians are allowed to stay at this listing? The land is for the Palestinians and all courts recognize this fact. Airbnb should also have the decency to uphold human rights, that is, unless they are a Zionist company that is hiding there real identity behind their logo.

    It doesn’t matter how many times a Zionist states it’s their land, in the hearts of the world, it never will be.

  • Give it back to the Palestinians.

  • Everyone has a right to a home. How would you like your homes to be stolen? Give the Palestinians their rights to their homes , just as you would like your rights to be protected.

  • This is sad, Air bnb. It completely undermines the ethics of your site. Why?

  • Please do not tarnish your name and reputation with poor decisions and profit in mind. Surely, you must be paying your bills and then some, money and power are not everything, airbnb has a reputation for being a positive connection in the world, have heart to keep it that way with decisions that benefit the whole international community, and bring about positive change, with money comes power and with power comes responsibility, use it wisely.

  • This is appalling criminality. It must not continue with impunity.

  • I understand that you are touting holiday lets within settlements built on stolen Palestinian land, illegal under international law. I assume you fully understand the situation and so, must be acting out of a cynical belief that you can get away with it, driven by self-interest and greed. In doing so, you bulldoze your way over the hopes, dreams, lives and livelihoods of local Palestinian people who are powerless to protect what is rightfully theirs. Shame on you. I hope that, one day soon, you will be brought to justice, if not in the courts, then in the court of public opinion.

  • This is terrible. I am boycotting airbnb until this stops.

    • About the host, Airbnb

    Last year alone Airbnb made almost $1 billion in revenue, and Airbnb is worth a whopping $24 billion. Yet, Airbnb continues to make a profit from homes located in illegal housing settlements in occupied territory.
