Retired Army General Says U.S. Can't Criticize Israel War Crimes

At the 2024 AI Expo in Washington D.C. On May 7th 2024:

Ret. Gen. Mark Milley says the US has committed so many war crimes over the years, it has no right to criticize Israel's devastation of Gaza

Palantir CEO Alex Karp chimes in: "The peace activists are actually the war activists, and we're the peace activists."

Karp says of Gaza anti-genocide protesters, "You are an infection inside our society!"

Gen. Milley repeats debunked Israeli propaganda about beheadings and sexual assault on Oct 7 to argue that the US would have done the same thing Israel is currently doing to Gaza if it had been attacked.

Karp presents the Palestine solidarity campus protest movement as an existential threat to American empire: "If we lose the intellectual battle, we will not be able to deploy any army in the West, ever."

What an absolutely bizarre set of arguments.

That’s how you talk when you view the entire world and everyone in it as a risk board

he's not wrong, somehow we allowed pro-genocide protesters run around campuses with their little intifada banners. How is it different from KKK or neo-nazis

Hamas is using its people as a smokescreen so that any action against them is met with human rights violation allegations. Also, there is a difference between a terrorist attack, and the casualties of war.

look its all perfectly logical

1. let's support the slaughter of massive numbers of innocent civilians because ..... yeah ..... we did it

2. let's do civilian slaughters because ... ummm... peace

3. yeah !!!

Karp was at another meeting later that day where he "condemned “pagan” anti-Israel protests, suggested the protesters be sent to North Korea and mused about launching drone strikes on his business enemies."
