Minnesota protesters demand divestment from Palantir Technologies

Approximately 50 protesters gathered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to demonstrate against the state's continued investment in the American technology company Palantir. Protesters are calling on the Minnesota Investment Board to divest tens of millions of dollars from the firm.

Activists claim that Palantir provides military and intelligence technologies, including data analysis and artificial intelligence systems, that are used by Israeli security and military institutions. Demonstrators allege these tools are utilized to track Palestinians, compile target lists, and facilitate airstrikes and assassinations, even within residential homes.

The protest is part of a growing movement within the United States aimed at holding American corporations accountable for providing surveillance, AI, and military analysis tools used in the conflict involving Palestinians.
