oh awesome, Palantir, the same company profiting off the genocide in Gaza

CEO Alex Karp has been a vocal supporter of Israel. In November 2023, he stated, "I am proud that we are supporting Israel in every way we can."

After October 2023, Palantir has provided Israel with multiple AI-powered data analytics tools for military and intelligence purposes.

In January 2024, Palantir held its board meeting in Israel and entered into a “strategic partnership” with Israel’s Ministry of Defense to help Israel's “war effort.”

In October 2024, Norway's largest asset manager, Storebrand, divested its Palantir shares, worth $24 million, due to concerns that Palantir's work for Israel might implicate Storebrand in violations of international humanitarian law and human rights.

The Palantir tools were used to analyze the data trove that Microsoft was hosting for Israel. It contained all of the cellular data (metadata and call recording/MMS contents/data traffic) for the entirety of Palestine.

That tool's detection of 'terrorists' was used to justify a massive portion of the air strikes on Palestine. Their beta test resulted in a genocide.

Palantir is complicit in war crimes and genocide, never forget that.

Now the fascists are using the terrorist language to target their political opponents in the US and using the same tools of genocide.

Microslop is still hosting for Israel, even more than before. Don’t believe Brad Smiths recent lies about their data centers being healthy for communities either.

That is exactly why I self host and avoid Microsoft products like the plague

Yeah, it's wild how clearly we can see that Palestine is the world's laboratory for surveillance and state violence tech and tactics.

The overwhelming majority of Somalis who live in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area are U.S. citizens, PBS reported.

And going after Somalis while Israel is trying to get a foothold in Somalia is sus af

What the hell does Israel want in Somalia? I never heard that before.
