Microsoft Engineer Quits, Sends Mass Email Accusing Company of Enabling Gaza War

A Microsoft data center technician based in Italy resigned and used his final day to send a mass email to thousands of colleagues across Europe. The email accused Microsoft of supporting Israel's military campaign in Gaza through its Azure cloud services and European data centers. The message referenced an exposé on Israel's Unit 8200 surveillance operations as part of its argument. Published under the banner of the activist group No Azure for Apartheid, the email called on Microsoft employees to reclaim their labor and push for divestment from Israeli military contracts.
