In a courageous act during the Microsoft Build keynote, an employee expressed disillusionment with Microsoft's involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, emphasizing the moral conflict between their work on Azure and its use in what they describe as ethnic cleansing. They highlighted their horror at the ongoing atrocities in Gaza and critiqued the silence of Microsoft leadership regarding these issues. This disruption is not merely an individual outcry but also connects to the broader No Azure for Apartheid movement, challenging the company's complicity in global injustices, particularly against Palestinian lives.
I can no longer stand by in silence as Microsoft continues to facilitate Israel's ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.
I have been shocked by the silence, inaction, and callousness of world leaders as Palestinian people are suffering.
