An executive in an American military contractor that is providing data analytics to the IDF joking about war crimes. This attack could not have been planned and executed so successfully without Palantir's services and they are gleefully celebrating their involvement without explicitly saying so.

    they love to brag about it

    Claiming that his products “changed the course of history by stopping terror attacks,” Mr. Karp said that Palantir had also “protected our men and women on the battlefield” and “taken the lives of our enemies, and I don’t think that’s something to be ashamed of.”

      A few paragraphs later he says he loves doing terrorism

      “I actually am a progressive,” he said. “I want less war. You only stop war by having the best technology and by scaring the bejabers — I’m trying to be nice here — out of our adversaries. If they are not scared, they don’t wake up scared, they don’t go to bed scared, they don’t fear that the wrath of America will come down on them, they will attack us. They will attack us everywhere.”

        Pretty much nobody on earth is afraid of me, yet I almost never get attacked. Curious.

        You know... Scare them. I wonder if there's another verb we could use for heavily scaring another person. Terrorize maybe?

        Imagine somebody saying the same things but for queer people. The outrage from all sides would be immense

        They will attack us everywhere.

        A really easy way to not be attacked everywhere is to stop being everywhere. Stop invading countries, stop occupying them for decades, stop killing their citizens

          This fucking ghoul right here is IMO the perfect example of the west being run by the failsons and faildaughters of empire.

          The old school evil fuckers like Kissenger never believed ridiculous shit like this. They knew the entire point of endless overseas conflicts is to create more conflicts and thus more profit.

          This goober on the other hand seems to genuinely believe the war on terror propaganda. Bro actually thinks the empire exists out of charity for the rest of the world, and not just endless death in the pursuit of always falling profits.

        "If they are not scared, they don’t wake up scared, they don’t go to bed scared, they don’t fear that the wrath of America will come down on them, they will attack us. They will attack us everywhere.”

        Deranged and fascistic thought process

        Princess Leia Organa : Governor Tarkin! I should have expected to find you holding Vader's leash. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board.

        Grand Moff Tarkin : Charming to the last. You don't know how hard I found it, signing the order to terminate your life.

        Princess Leia Organa : I'm surprised that you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself.

        Grand Moff Tarkin : Princess Leia, before your execution, I would like you to be my guest at a ceremony that'll make this battle station operational. No star system will dare oppose the Emperor now.

        Princess Leia Organa : The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.

        Grand Moff Tarkin : Not after we demonstrate the power of this station. In a way, you have determined the choice of the planet that'll be destroyed first. Since you are reluctant to provide us with the location of the Rebel base, I have chosen to test this station's destructive power on your home planet of Alderaan.

        Princess Leia Organa : No! Alderaan is peaceful! We have no weapons, you can't possibly...

        Grand Moff Tarkin : [impatiently] You would prefer another target, a military target? Then name the system! I grow tired of asking this so it will be the last time: Where is the rebel base?

        Princess Leia Organa : ...Dantooine. They're on Dantooine.

        Grand Moff Tarkin : There. You see, Lord Vader, she can be reasonable. Continue with the operation; you may fire when ready.

        Princess Leia Organa : WHAT?

        Grand Moff Tarkin : You're far too trusting. Dantooine is too remote to make an effective demonstration - but don't worry; we will deal with your rebel friends soon enough.

      Karp is always bragging about his refusal to work with "enemies of the West", as if China is begging to give up their data to a CIA asset.
