Nearly 100 activists from Jewish Voice for Peace occupied Palantir's Seattle lobby on July 14, 2025, blocking elevators and carrying banners alleging Palantir's surveillance enables killings. Protests simultaneously occurred at Palantir offices in New York, Washington D.C., Palo Alto, and Denver. An organizer wearing a keffiyeh and a "Divest from Genocide" shirt called for accountability from Palantir and Microsoft for powering an "AI-assisted genocide." Activists carried banners reading "First Palantir Surveils, then IDF Kills" and "First Palantir Tracks, then ICE attacks." Palantir promotes itself as an advanced data-mining company building dominance across industry, medicine, and the battlefield. A 2022 Department of Homeland Security contract tied Palantir to U.S. surveillance operations.
An organizer, wearing a keffiyeh and a shirt reading "Divest from Genocide," stood on a table: "We're all standing here today to hold companies like Palantir and Microsoft accountable for their role powering the world's first AI-assisted genocide." Behind them, nearly 100 activists from Jewish Voice for Peace filled the lobby of Palantir's Seattle offices on July 14, 2025. Activists carried banners featuring giant eyes with yellow irises: "First Palantir Surveils, then IDF Kills." "First Palantir Tracks, then ICE attacks."
Palantir, one of the planet's most advanced data mining companies, advertises that their mission is "to ensure America's future" "on the factory floor, in the operating room, across the battlefield-we build to dominate." Hossam Nasr, an organizer with No Azure for Apartheid (and a participant in the Seattle protest), said, "Palantir is the [company] that's most brazenly and explicitly leading this charge of tech companies becoming arms of the state...Their CEO brags about how their technology kills people."
