Dozens of anti-Israel Microsoft employees, many wearing face masks and keffiyes, swarmed the company’s headquarters in Washington state to protest the Big Tech giant’s ties to Israel’s military.
The protesters set up tents in a “liberated zone” on the Redmond campus, renaming it the “Martyred Palestinian Children’s Plaza” — and toted signs that urged co-workers to “Join the worker intifada: no labor for genocide.” Other placards said “stop starving Gaza.”
A group calling itself “No Azure For Apartheid” organized Tuesday’s sit-in after The Guardian reported that an Israeli military intelligence agency was using Microsoft’s Azure software to amass recordings of phone calls made by Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
“Once again, the enablers of genocide and apartheid choose to criminalize those that oppose the bombing of Palestinians, rather than the war criminals ethnically cleansing and starving our people in Palestine,” the group — an offshoot of No Tech For Apartheid — wrote on X.
The group also published a lengthy manifesto calling for a “worker intifada” and stating that “it would not be cogs in the Israeli genocidal machine.”
“The group was asked to leave, and they left,” a Microsoft spokesperson told The Post on Wednesday.
About 50 current and former Microsoft workers took part in the sit-in, company officials said.
Microsoft had said it was not aware “of the surveillance of civilians or collection of their cellphone conversations using Microsoft’s services” and would conduct a formal review of the allegations.

Dangerous lunatics
Hamas supporters are domestic terrorists.
Round them up and “process” them.
How can these idiots overlook what Hamas did during its invasion of Israel? I blame the MSM for promoting their warped view of the conflict and place the dead on their doorstep.
If they are employees of MSFT, MSFT should identify them and fire them immediately, not because of the employees’ views, but because they represent an enormous sabotage threat to MSFT’s business.
I think Microsoft is going to have some job openings.
Those ineffective IDF folks trying a "genocide" need some lessons, as the latest Hamas declaration reads -- when one actually does the simple math -- amount to only about 1 percent of ALL Gazans since October 2023. Or a lot of Hamas fighters, though claiming they are being "genocided" isn't a very good marketing stance.
“Worker Intifada” at Microsoft ... PING!
Microsoft is very dependent on their Research & Development operations in Israel. Several thousand employees there, at least.
so, they admit they are jihadi warriors who died in the cause of their holy war ?
Windows sucks.
And their search engine is useless.
Did they bring out their swastikas and microwave ovens to show their appreciation for the slaughter of Jews?
Evil arse-wholes!
Their boss should fire them immediately for smearing the corporate reputation and misusing comment property.
Where does such Satanic garbage come from, anyway?
Hopefully there will be some vacancies at MS this afternoon.
Didn’t a lot of these Tech companies prohibit their employees from engaging in politics on the job??
They can be sacked, as they say in Olde England.
No more displays of Stupid at Redmond.
MCSFT brought these radical lunatics into their company and now they are stuck with them. This is just the beginning.
“””Evil arse-wholes!
Their boss should fire them immediately for smearing the corporate reputation and misusing comment property.”””
Their boss is probably one of them.
They don’t care cause they hate Jews.
As they went back to work, they renamed it the appropriate “Hamas would slit our throats if they knew how lgbtqa.... we are Plaza”
