If you ever needed an example of what makes Israel so special, it’s right now: at Hostage Square, the Nova site, the Western Wall, and in homes across the country, people are praying, watching, holding their breath, and waiting to celebrate as the hostages finally cross back into Israel. Ten million people waiting for 20 of their brothers to finally come home.
We at Palantir have been committed to defending the principles that make democratic rule possible since our founding two decades ago.
Our software embodies our values and commitments. These include high performance, efficiency, transparency, fairness, and a rejection of narrow thinking, including fear and skepticism of the other and outright bigotry.
We believe that these values must be backed up by actions on the battlefield, intellectual and otherwise, given the egregious levels of antisemitism in our society, especially at our most elite educational institutions. Some of these organizations seem structurally incapable of taking any steps to reform themselves.
Students on campuses are terrified and have been instructed by administrators to hide their Judaism.
We are launching an initiative for students who because of antisemitism fear for their safety on campus and need to seek refuge outside traditional establishments of higher education. They are welcome to join Palantir, and we are setting aside 180 positions for them immediately.
More details to follow shortly.
