“Love This”: Ben Shapiro Celebrates Palantir Announcing Affirmative Action Hiring Quota For Jews
The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro, who has spent years railing against affirmative action and identity politics, on Thursday celebrated Palantir announcing that they’re “setting aside 180 positions” just for Jewish college students who say they feel “unsafe” at America’s Ivy League universities.

Thank you House GOP for standing up to defend the hurt feelings of pampered, elite Ivy League students https://t.co/VDMN93oiT1

Palantir wrote Thursday on X:
We at Palantir have been committed to defending the principles that make democratic rule possible since our founding two decades ago.
Our software embodies our values and commitments. These include high performance, efficiency, transparency, fairness, and a rejection of narrow thinking, including fear and skepticism of the other and outright bigotry.
We believe that these values must be backed up by actions on the battlefield, intellectual and otherwise, given the egregious levels of antisemitism in our society, especially at our most elite educational institutions. Some of these organizations seem structurally incapable of taking any steps to reform themselves.
Students on campuses are terrified and have been instructed by administrators to hide their Judaism.
We are launching an initiative for students who because of antisemitism fear for their safety on campus and need to seek refuge outside traditional establishments of higher education. They are welcome to join Palantir, and we are setting aside 180 positions for them immediately.
More details to follow shortly.
Shapiro was railed for his hypocrisy on social media:
If Palantir had instead set aside 180 jobs and announced those jobs were available only for black students, or trans students, or immigrant students, or Latino students, or gay students, would Ben Shapiro and Bari Weiss be applauding them?
Not sure, but I sort of doubt it.

This is affirmative action for Jews
Didn’t you build your entire career on attacking “identity politics?”
But now everyone sees that what you really meant is identity politics for Jews and Israel but not for White people or anyone else

Here’s Alex Karp explaining how Palantir’s Gotham software — which was also involved in tracking all health data during covid — singlehandedly “stopped the far-right” in Europe.

After realizing that he exposed himself as a complete and total fraud, Shapiro walked back his endorsement of Palantir’s affirmative action program:
But they should open it up to everyone, regardless of whether they fear anti-Semitism or not. Time to take the talent pool of the entire college and university scam and hire them away.

Shapiro “loves” their affirmative action program but doesn’t support the core of it which he just endorsed.
What a hilarious walk back!
Shapiro over the past two months has completely transformed into a “woke” SJW libtard by embracing cancel culture and affirmative action to advance Israeli/Jewish interests.
