U.S. tech giant Palantir openly supports Israel's genocide on Gaza. In the United States, the company helps immigration authorities target people for deportation and police departments to surveil our communities. Palantir does this primarily through its specialized artificial intelligence (AI) tools and by centralizing data—including everyday people's personal information—in one place.

- Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton announced that he returned a donation from the Employees of Palantir PAC. A campaign spokesperson said “We don’t want” Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel’s “money and we don’t want his surveillance in our streets.

- Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP, the Netherlands’ largest pension fund which previously held €825 million worth of stock in Palantir, divests from the company.
