Palantir CTO basically confirming their involvement in Israel's pager attack (x.com)

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.

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.
