NEW: Microsoft President Brad Smith held a press briefing after today’s No Azure for Apartheid occupation of his office. Asked about Microsoft’s relationship with the Israeli military, Smith said: “The vast majority of what Microsoft does for the Israeli military is protect the cybersecurity of the state of Israel… That is our primary focus. There are some other activities as well. That involve the use of Azure for storage for example, for processing of data.” On August 6, The Guardian, with +972 Magazine and Local Call, revealed that Israel’s Unit 8200 has used Microsoft’s Azure cloud to store and analyze massive volumes of Palestinian phone call data — one of the largest surveillance systems ever built for a civilian population. The data was then used to plan airstrikes on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Leaked documents show Microsoft executives, including CEO Satya Nadella, knew Unit 8200 was archiving “a million calls an hour” with custom Azure infrastructure. The revelations forced Microsoft into a second external investigation over whether its work with Israel violates its own human rights policies.

⚡️ BREAKING: Microsoft employees and other demonstrators with the No Azure for Apartheid movement are currently occupying the office of company president Brad Smith. Workers say they have re-established a “Liberated Zone” inside Microsoft’s executive Building 34, renaming it the Mai Ubeid Building in honor of a Palestinian software engineer killed in an Israeli airstrike. Bloomberg reported earlier today that Microsoft has spent the past year trying to crush employee dissent over its ties to Israel’s war on Gaza — including enlisting the FBI, working with police, and censoring internal posts mentioning “Gaza.” The company has suspended and fired workers who spoke out, while employees have continued to stage disruptions, from mass emails to sit-ins and viral protests. The employee-led movement is protesting Microsoft profiting from and enabling Israel’s atrocities in Palestine through its Azure cloud and AI tools. Despite repression, workers say they won’t stop until Microsoft cuts its ties to Israel’s military. According to the organizers’ statement, today’s action included deploying noisemakers into the atrium, unfurling banners, and delivering a “People’s Court Summons” to Brad Smith. Their demands include: cutting ties with Israel, calling for an end to genocide and forced starvation, reparations for Palestinians, and ending workplace discrimination. Video shows the demonstrators in the Microsoft C-suite reading their statement. Shared on Twitch (link in reply).

NEW: Microsoft Engineer Disrupts Nadella Keynote Over Genocide Complicity Joe Lopez, a member of the No Azure for Apartheid campaign and a firmware engineer in Azure’s hardware division, interrupted CEO Satya Nadella’s Build conference keynote on Monday. In a letter published later, he explains his journey of political awakening and condemns Microsoft for its direct complicity in “ethnic cleansing” and “crimes against humanity.” Lopez said he initially tried to stay informed and take small actions—donating, signing petitions—while continuing his work at Microsoft. But after seeing fellow employees disrupt Microsoft’s 50th anniversary event and learning more about the company’s ties to Israel’s military, he began questioning his role. “Microsoft is killing kids? Is my work killing kids?” he wrote. What followed, he said, was a painful realization that Azure’s infrastructure was actively fueling a U.S.–Israeli “war machine” and the mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza. He pointed to a recent company blog post—Microsoft’s first public response to the employee campaign—as a turning point. In that post, Microsoft defended its operations in Israel, citing an internal audit conducted by the company itself and an unnamed outside firm. The audit cleared Microsoft of wrongdoing, but Lopez called it “meaningless,” especially after the company admitted giving Israel’s Ministry of Defense “special access” to its cloud technologies “beyond the terms of our commercial agreements.” Lopez called out the complicity of top executives—including Mustafa Suleyman, Brad Smith, Kevin Scott, Scott Guthrie, and Satya Nadella—and their refusal to directly address the allegations. Calling on other workers to speak out or leave, he said he could no longer be part of a company helping “level cities and exterminate Palestinians.” “If leadership continues to ignore this demand, it won’t go unnoticed. The world has already woken up to our complicity,” he added.

Current and former Microsoft workers staged a sit-in at Building 34—renaming it the Mai Ubeid Building—and occupied President Brad Smith’s office with banners, chants, and a “crimes against humanity” summons. Outside, supporters unveiled a scroll of 2,000+ signatures on the No Azure for Apartheid petition, vowing to sustain their protests until Microsoft cuts ties with Israel and ends its role in the genocide. This marks the second attempt to establish a 'Liberated Zone' encampment at Microsoft, after the first was violently dismantled by police.

Navy Whistleblower Tom Schiller says it wasn't some mid-level bureaucrat who approved giving foreign Chinese nationals access to U.S. government cyber systems via the Microsoft Government Azure platform. It was Barack Obama himself. According to Schiller, Obama's name and signature authorized the original Microsoft contracts between 2014 and 2016, allowing unvetted, foreign, Chinese tech workers located in China to provide tech support for Pentagon cyber and Intel systems through Microsoft Government Azure. This went straight to the top. Obama must be held accountable for giving the CCP access to the entire US federal government’s cyber systems. @DeptofDefense Pete Hegseth Donald J.
