Protesters Occupy Microsoft President's Office to Protest Company's Work with Israel
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A group of current and former Microsoft workers occupied the office of
Microsoft's President Brad Smith on Tuesday to protest Microsoft's work
with the Israeli military in Gaza. The tech workers accused Microsoft of
"powering the genocide in Gaza and the mass surveillance of
Palestinians." Seven protesters were arrested. This comes as Bloomberg
reports Microsoft has asked the FBI for help tracking pro-Palestinian
protests targeting the company.
