This was Obama’s speech at the DNC in 2012. He said his support for Israel would not waiver. He said he’d stand up to Iran. He mocked Mitt Romney for calling Russia a top geopolitical foe. By the next year, Iran took control of Syria. By the year after that, Russia invaded and annexed Crimea. By the year after that, Obama signed the Iran Nuclear Deal, giving a $100B+ windfall to the Ayatollah regime which directly shaped events in the Middle East today. The eloquence of a speech is not a predictor for what a politician will do, if elected. Their foreign policy worldview and capacity to hold the line are much better indicators for what a president will or won’t do. When Kamala says she stands for Israel’s security and also wants a ceasefire, that means she will pressure Israel into concessions at a cost to Israeli security. Her record makes this entirely clear. You can support Kamala or you can support Israel. But supporting one will come at the expense of the other.

Could not be prouder to be part of the Palantir family. Palantir CEO Alex Karp continues to set an example in moral clarity & courage: “We have been saying & building products for a world that is violent, disjointed, irrational. A world in which you have to show strength. A world in which, if you do not show strength, people who are biased, xenophobic, dare I say it, antisemitic, will rear their head. A world in which you really have to pick sides.” Whether you’re a company or a country, you cannot succeed in the world if you don’t have a clear sense of where you’re going, what your mission is, who your friends are, who your adversaries are & what you stand for. Plain English speaking & clarity has a way of going missing in too many foreign policy debates.
