But not long after October 7th, it sends multiple engineers there because the Israeli Defense Forces want to use the software.

There's interest from Shin Bet, which is the domestic intelligence services.

And Carp's view is we're going to give them anything and everything they need.

Palantir takes out a full-page ad in the New York Times saying that Palantir stands with Israel.

And this messaging is not just directed at the general public, it's also directed at Palantir employees.

Because he says to me, privately, that he wants it understood that whereas he was very willing to tolerate the dissent back during the first Trump presidency over Palantir's work with ICE...

He's really not in the mood to tolerate any internal dissent over the work Palantir is doing to support Israel after October 7th.

We've lost employees.

He says very clearly, if you can't abide by what we're doing, then maybe Palantir isn't the place for you.

Exactly.

And he is furious about the protests on campus.

He is very outspoken in following October 7th, very outspoken about the protests on campuses, using every opportunity he can get to lash out at the protesters to say that they are delusional, that they are misguided.

They literally don't see the contradiction.

He thinks the protests are riddled with anti-Semitism and are very dangerous.

And he sees this as reflective of a broader rot in his mind on the left.

He remains supportive of President Biden.

He has written checks to the Biden campaign and says he's going to continue to do so because Biden has been very supportive of the Israeli government.

But he's less happy with the Democratic Party in general.

He believes that the far left is the tail wagging the dog and that the far left of the Democratic Party is anti-Israel and is now becoming increasingly anti-Semitic.

That's right.
