I dont' know what Israeli settlements look like but if these are representative, they don't seem very attractive....I'd select another Airbnb. One that looks less like a concrete beehive.
Hmmm...do you think it's possible that the hosts saw through this ploy and realized that "Haled" might not be an American Palestinian guest who sincerely wanted to stay in an Airbnb in the Occupied West Bank?

Earlier this year, +972 magazine created an online guest persona: an American citizen of Palestinian descent who wanted to stay in a settlement rental. “Haled” attempted to make reservations at dozens of listings, but was declined at all but one, and rarely given a reason. In one case, the host responded: “I’m very sorry but I don’t think that it’s possible…. it’s very sensitive here.… hope that in different life we could be good friends.” In another example, the response was: “I am sorry but we will not be able to confirm your reservation. Due to the political situation it is not possible at this time.”

INQUIRY:
"Hi, I'm Haled, a Palestinian AMerican, and for some reason, I feel that I'd like to stay in a home in the Israeli settled region of the Occupied West Bank. Your home stands out to me as one of the nicest of the concrete beehives I browsed."
