US business leaders have threatened pro-Palestinian students taking part in campus protests with denial of job opportunities and mortgages, warning that AI surveillance technology would be able to identify them.

Oil giant ExxonMobil's CEO Darren Woods said in an interview last week that he is "not interested" in hiring students who take part in US campus protests against Israel's war on Gaza.

"We wouldn't look to bring folks like that into our company and if that action or those protests reflect the values of the campuses where they're doing it, we wouldn't be interested in recruiting students from those campuses," Woods told CNBC on 26 April.

It takes McCarthyism to a whole new level.

The deal means that U2 – a group that constantly preaches about peace and nonviolence – is now tangled up with a bank profiting from Israel’s violations of international law.
