ALEX KARP, the CEO of Palantir, the US military spyware company used by Israel in its targeted bombings of Gaza and which has been awarded a contract with the NHS, wants to see campus opposition to Israel’s brutal and relentless attack on Palestinians snuffed out.
Karp has described the college encampments in support of the bombed and beleaguered Palestinians murdered by Israeli forces as “a pagan religion infecting our universities.”
With Karp now fully in league with Trump insiders, it is no surprise, therefore, to see a flurry of recent arrests — and, in at least one case so far, deportation — of pro-Palestine students and faculty at leading US universities.
