Peter Parker in the recent Spider-Man film used something similar to Flock and Palantir to track criminals and the movies villain. Hence the "Palantir Parker". It's incredibly unethical and it's portrayed as a good thing. Tony Stark, and his company Stark industries was an American weapons manufacturer. Israel buys a lot of American weapons, it would be unrealistic if Tony or at the very least Stark Industries didn't sell arms to them.

Nuclear weapons are morally wrong but that's a whole other conversation I'm not going to address, Bruce making them I'm assuming becoming a war criminal in the process. I don't know all the requirements or context for this one.

Maybe it would've been true before but I thought it was well established after the first Iron Man movie that Tony had stopped selling weapons, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct he stopped. He did previously.

Did they ever say what Stark Industries does do now that they don’t make weapons? I mean other than funding all the stuff for all the Avengers all the time, how are they making any money

Green Energy. They manufacture arc reactors en masse for energy production and apparently that energy is clean.

someone calculate how bad it is for the environment to dig up mass amounts of palladium.

unless he's mass producing the same kind of reactors as he's got in his chest that uses the same element he discovered

It's just sized up versions of what's in his chest, yeah.
