Will Bari Weiss Condemn Israel’s Killing of CBS Contributor in Gaza?
Abdul Raouf Shaat is among the more than 200 media workers killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since October 2023.

A cameraman and CBS News contributor was among three journalists killed Wednesday by Israeli forces while working in Gaza, prompting some observers to ask when—or if—Bari Weiss, the network’s pro-Israel editor-in-chief, would condemn the attack.
Anas Ghneim, Mohammed Salah Qashta, and Abdul Raouf Shaat were using a drone to record aid distribution by the Egyptian Relief Committee in al-Zahra in central Gaza when, according to eyewitness accounts, an airstrike targeted one of the group’s vehicles accompanying the journalists.

Larry Ellison owns CBS. He is a long time donor of the Israeli Defence Force and enabled them to track targets by their use of Palantir/Oracle installations
In recent years, Palantir has become one of the most intriguing contractors of Israel’s security forces. The fact of such cooperation is no secret: immediately after his appearance at the university, Karp travelled to military headquarters in Tel Aviv, where he signed an upgraded agreement with the Ministry of Defense, and was even photographed with Danny Gold, head of the Israeli Directorate of Defense Research & Development (DDR&D), who became well known as the manager of the development of the Iron Dome missile defense system.
The picture didn’t appear in the Israeli press, but did make it to Bloomberg, which reported that Israel was set to buy from Palantir an AI-based system called AIP, designed to assist decision making on the basis of intelligence, and capable of analyzing enemy targets and proposing combat moves. Palantir expects revenue in the tens of millions of dollars from the agreement with Israel.
Just what is Palantir doing in Israel’s defense establishment? None of the parties would elaborate. Last summer, however, the company did allow a reporter for “Time” magazine a peep into its offices in London, from which the company fulfills an important role in the war in Ukraine. One of the most intriguing products that the company offers, according to “Time”, is MetaConstellation, a system for managing aerial photographs from a huge network of satellites. Palantir enables the Ukrainians not just to gather extensive intelligence with the satellite photographs and to track intelligence targets, but also to respond to the intelligence quickly, in what is known as a very rapid “find, track, target, and prosecute” cycle.

The good, the bad and the ugly:
Palantir/Oracle offers an effective system, as did IBM during WW2, used by Nazis to log and locate Jews and organise logistics for their genocide.
American technology leading the way now for those who suffered from its application to now apply it to exact revenge against those who enabled and hideously murdered them; and those who stood by and let it happen.
But along the way those Palestinians who were not part of that evil in WW2 became swept up in the vicious cycle.
