#endoccupation

I’ve recently been targeted by adverts of Israeli properties on Airbnb and I found it absolutely appalling. Not just because of the location but because these ads don’t mention anywhere that these homes are in illegally occupied Palestinian territories. No disclaimer, no context, nothing. Just beaches, sunsets and fake normality.

So I did more research. And what I found made me sick.

Airbnb is listing and profiting from properties built on stolen land. Homes in illegal settlements in areas where Palestinians have been forcibly removed. These aren’t just “complicated political zones” they are war crimes. According to international law these settlements are illegal. According to basic human decency they are a disgrace.

Amnesty International called Airbnb “deeply compromised”. Human Rights Watch published a whole report showing how Airbnb helps whitewash apartheid by turning land theft into “holiday destinations”. Even the United Nations listed Airbnb as one of the companies complicit in the Israeli occupation. And the Guardian recently exposed that Airbnb still lists hundreds of properties in these settlements some of which are illegal even under Israeli law.

What’s more disgusting is that Airbnb knew this. They tried to act like they cared back in 2018 and announced they would remove these listings. Then they quietly reversed the decision after lawsuits and pressure from pro-Israel lobbies. They don’t care about justice. They care about profit.

This isn’t a tourism issue. It’s a human rights issue. It’s about corporate complicity in apartheid displacement and land theft.

I don’t want a holiday rental that comes with the blood of occupation. And I don’t want to give a single cent to a company that sanitises genocide into a beachfront experience.

Since the days of Ismail Qabbalan, Israel has invested in breaking identities. It imposed military service on Druze Palestinians and failed to do so in the Golan. Now, under Netanyahu, a new kind of Druze alliance is being forged — a softer face for a brutal occupation.

Old play, new costume.
