Microsoft has forbidden its employees from using the words “Palestine”, “Gaza” or “genocide” in its domestic email system as the technology giant seems to hit the unrest within its ranks following the Italian Its Its Company’s protests.
The company has quietly implemented a filter in its internal system of email exchange that blocks messages contain politically charged words without the sender or recipient, according to a report by Dropsite News.
Microsoft has been destroyed in recent months by demonstrations staged by a group of charming employees for Palestinians.
The activist group known as “no Azure for apartheid” has been in doubt that heavy management with the Israeli government and army.
Microsoft Azure is the Microsoft computing platform and infrastructure, providing a wide range of services, including computing power, storage, databases, networking, artificial intelligence and analytics.
An investigation by some news media revealed that the Azure platform was used by variable branches of the Israeli army – not only for administrative purposes, but also for combat and intelligent activities.
The leaked documents showed that Microsoft entered the agreement worth approximately $ 10 million to provide thousands of hours of technical support during the Gaza conflict.
Microsoft employees counting them as members of the “Azure for apartheid” told Dresline News that they first noticed filters on Wednesday – just days after they organized a protest that disrupted the annual development of the company.
According to the group, terms such as “Israel” or changed pronunciations as “P4lelele” are not flaged, setting up concerts that the company is selectively silent one side of the debate.
The post has requested comment from Microsoft.
Despite the reaction, Microsoft has stayed with his partnerships with Israel.
“We engage with the government around the world to provide secure, reliable Cloud services,” a senior official for Drepsite News told the background.
“These commitments are subject to legal, ethical and security reviews to ensure that they match our principles.”
Only before the construction event, Microsoft issued an internal report, saying it found “no evidence that Azure and he Technologies of Microsoft, or any of our other programs, were used to harm.”
The report was seen as an interest in calming the tensions between the raised review and the increasing distribution of employees.
The Israeli-Hamas war began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, killing approximately 1,195 people, including 815 civilians, and receiving 251 hostages.
In response, Israel launched a large -scale military campaign in Gaza, including widespread air strikes and a land occupation aimed at dismantling Hamas.
Since May 2025, over 52,000 Palestinians have been killed, more than half of them women and children, and over 110,000 have been injured, leading to a serious humanitarian crisis in the region.
