Palantir CEO Alex Karp said that he wants to send Columbia anti-Israel protesters to North Korea. The billionaire businessman is even willing to sponsor a NoKor exchange program to give these protesters a new perspective.
Palantir CEO Suggests Sending Columbia Protesters To NoKor
On Tuesday, Apr. 30, anti-Israel protesters conducted a rally at Columbia University in New York City. Because of this, the university had to cancel its classes and change its exam plans. Students were sent home to ensure their safety.
This incident triggered Palantir CEO Alex Karp. During a high-profile tech event in Washington, DC, he criticized pro-Gaza protesters for causing chaos on college campuses.
He said these demonstrators should be sent to North Korea to give them perspective.
"We're going to do an exchange program sponsored by Karp. A couple of months in North Korea, nice-tasting flavored bark. See how you feel about that," the billionaire said via The New York Post.

Alex Karp Calls Columbia Anti-Israel Protesters 'Pagan'
According to Business Insider, the Palantir CEO called Columbia anti-Israel protesters pagan. He said that a "pagan religion" had been created at Columbia.
Alex Karp added that a double standard has spread across the university's campuses, where demonstrators commit themselves to antidiscrimination but exclude the population that has been most discriminated against for the past thousands of years.
The Palantir CEO is known to be a very vocal supporter of Israel, even before the Israel-Gaza war was triggered by a deadly Hamas attack in October 2023.
