WHY RECOGNISING PALESTINE WILL NOT END ISRAEL'S RAMPAGE

This segment examines two interconnected developments in global politics and technology. Two years into Israel's military campaign in Gaza, some Western governments have begun issuing coordinated statements recognizing Palestinian statehood through a UN resolution. By highlighting this document visually, the piece questions the timing and effectiveness of this diplomatic gesture.

Simultaneously, Silicon Valley CEOs are positioning their technologies as revolutionary tools for modern warfare. Among the companies capitalizing on this military-tech expansion, Palantir has emerged as the most prominent player, aggressively marketing its data analytics platforms as essential infrastructure for 21st-century conflict.

The piece draws connections between performative diplomatic gestures and the troubling merger of tech innovation with military operations, questioning whether either development serves the interests of those most affected by ongoing violence.
