He sent an email to thousands of Microsoft employees saying he was “shocked by the silence of our leadership’s silence,” just days after Microsoft responded to employee protests by saying it hadn’t found any evidence that its cloud and AI services have harmed people in Gaza .

Microsoft admits to allowing Israel Ministry of Defense “special access to our technologies beyond the terms of our commercial agreements” Microsoft recently uploaded a blog post, marking its first official response to the concerns that many have been shouting into their ears for years .

Microsoft has immeasurable power to do the right thing: demand an end to this senseless tragedy, or we will cease our technological support for Israel .

But as the saying goes: “The best time to act was yesterday , the second best time is today .” Best, Joe .
