This is unprecedented. Tech companies don't just pull out of military contracts like this. I apologize if this sounds pessimistic in any way, but I really am just in complete awe that this happened. I had absolutely zero trust in Microsoft to do the right thing, and this news just blew me away to wake up to. This will never wash the blood off of Microsoft's hands, but this decision will still echo out. It is a sign of change. The world is starting to see Israel's genocide for what it is. Palestine will be free.

strawhatsufi

Here’s what I found from credible sources about Microsoft’s announcement / public statements concerning disabling services to an Israeli military unit. The picture is detailed; it supports that Microsoft did cut off or disable some services — but not a full severing of all contracts.

Microsoft’s public announcement and internal memo

Microsoft’s president, Brad Smith, sent a memo to employees stating that Microsoft has “ceased and disabled a set of services to a unit within the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD).” Financial Times+3GeekWire+3Reuters+3

The memo says Microsoft found “evidence that supports elements” of the Guardian-led allegations that certain IMOD / IDF units used Azure storage capacity in the Netherlands and used AI services for surveillance. Financial Times+3GeekWire+3Reuters+3

Microsoft informed the Israeli Defense Ministry of its decision to cease and disable specified subscriptions and services, especially those involving cloud storage and AI services / technologies that were implicated in surveillance. GeekWire+5Reuters+5Financial Times+5

Microsoft emphasizes that cybersecurity services to Israel and other Middle Eastern countries are not affected by this decision. GeekWire+3Reuters+3Financial Times+3

What Microsoft had previously stated / its policy stance

Back in May 2025, Microsoft issued a public “Statement on the issues relating to technology services in Israel and Gaza”. In that, Microsoft said it had launched a formal review into allegations (from The Guardian) that an IDF unit had used Azure for mass surveillance of Palestinians. The Official Microsoft Blog

In that statement, Microsoft claimed that up to that moment, it found no evidence that its technologies (Azure, AI) had been used to harm people in Gaza or to violate its terms of service. The Official Microsoft Blog

Microsoft said that its contracts with the Israel Ministry of Defense are structured as normal commercial relationships, bound by its terms of service, acceptable use policies, and AI code of conduct. The Official Microsoft Blog

The statement also acknowledged limitations: Microsoft said it doesn’t always have visibility into how customers use software on their own servers or in government clouds not operated by Microsoft. The Official Microsoft Blog

Key takeaways & caveats

From comparing Microsoft’s statements with media reports:

They did disable / terminate specific services

The disabling is targeted: specific IMOD subscriptions, especially those connected to cloud storage and AI services, have been cut. Financial Times+3Reuters+3GeekWire+3

The move was triggered by Microsoft’s internal review confirming some elements of the Guardian investigation. GeekWire+3Reuters+3The Verge+3

It’s not a full severance of all contracts or services

Microsoft explicitly said that most contracts / services remain intact, especially “cybersecurity services” and other non-surveillance functions. Reuters+2Financial Times+2

Microsoft frames the decision as enforcing its terms of service rather than a broader political or moral withdrawal. Financial Times+3GeekWire+3Reuters+3

The decision pertains to a unit within IMOD, sometimes referred to in reporting as Unit 8200, and not the entirety of Israel’s military. Jerusalem Post+4The Guardian+4The Verge+4

The review is in progress / transparency is promised

Microsoft says it’s continuing its review and will publish factual findings once completed. Financial Times+3The Official Microsoft Blog+3Reuters+3

The decision is framed as ensuring compliance with Microsoft’s terms, especially prohibitions on use for mass surveillance of civilians. GeekWire+2The Verge+2

So, to your earlier question: Yes, Microsoft did sever (i.e. disable) some major services (cloud + AI) used by a key Israeli military intelligence unit, but no, it did not fully sever all ties or cancel all contracts with the Israeli military or government. Microsoft’s own statements support this more limited, principles-based action.

If you like, I can pull up the exact lines from Brad Smith’s memo (full text) and also see how activists / BDS groups are judging whether this is sufficient. Do you want me to fetch those for you?

strawhatsufi

tl;dr - the relationship between microsoft and the IOF is much deeper than just this. continue boycotting microsoft until BDS says to stop.

Hey y'all, it’s Sami Tuesday and I'm making this post on behalf of him and his family who are currently suffering in Gaza from starvation, violence, and displacement. You can find their fundraiser here. The people of Gaza are just like people anywhere else. They deserve good, long lives and the ability to dream of better things without being frightened from it or punished for it.

I ask you to please consider donating if you have the means-- even something small-- or reblogging to circulate their fundraiser. Anything helps! Thank you so, so much for even reading. FUNDRAISER.

If anyone knows of any Afro-Palestinian or Black Gazan fundraisers, please feel free to reblog with them. I want to start a reblog chain. 🙏🏾

Alright folks! If you've ever wanted to donate to me, let's get some of these folks some help! Afro Palestinians go unheard even in the midst of an entire community suffering alongside them. I want to make sure they get some vision, too!

thank you ice for using your platform to uplift afro-palestinians!!! i checked on the donations for each campaign since the post gained reblogs and am happy to report that donations have gone up for all but two of them - if people don't mind showing a bit more support for moataz musleh and mahmoud, especially mahmoud since i already highlighted him as one of the people whose campaign has yet to reach $1,000, please do! you can also follow mahmoud on twitter if you're there, he has a paypal in his bio for a more directly accessible way to support him too.

I have some good news to share today!! 💕

Young Iman was able to afford the medical device she needed for her feet!! :D

(For those who are curious like I was, it appears to be a device called a Clubfoot brace, though my more medical-savvy followers can feel free to correct me. I encourage you to research it, it's very interesting!)

That's YOUR actions making a difference! :)

YOUR donations, YOUR reblogs! YOU helped me spread the word for Iman's father @aahedandfamily and now Iman is one step closer to getting the corrective surgery she needs for her feet. ❤️‍🩹

Take a deep breath.

I know things seem bleak right now, but we are NOT powerless. We CAN make a difference in the lives of the Palestinian people, one family at a time.

Now the next step: It's likely that Iman's family will need to evacuate the Gaza strip as soon as they can in order to perform the corrective surgery she needs in the upcoming year!

Help me help them reach this goal!

Donate if you're able to. And if you can't right now don't feel bad, just help me share their story!

Thank you. 🖤🤍💚❤️

if you want to materially aid palestinians undergoing genocide, please consider donating to the zahrat alhanun mutual aid fund. i personally am in contact with some of the organizers and can attest to the work they do. they're currently low on resources for the palestinian students and families that rely on them. you can learn more about ZAMA here! please share widely!!!!!

kukai

update from one of the organizers because this is still making rounds: if you donate via venmo do not mention palestine in the transaction—it is more likely to get flagged that way. instead, do something neutral like "food" or a heart emoji

furthermore, if you're donating large amounts of money, please do that through the chuffed link! doing this also makes it more likely for the venmo to get flagged. this account is vital to ZAMA's operations, so please be mindful!

PLEASE KEEP SPREADING THIS. there is an urgent call for tents, especially as the IOF continues to ravage gaza city and we are entering the colder months. keep share and donating!!!

The Trump administration just opened a three-week comment period for revoking the Roadless Rule, which keeps wilderness intact.

"The U.S. Forest Service today [Aug. 29, 2025] posted notice of its intention to roll back significant protections on some 45 million acres of mid-elevation forestland, and will accept public comments through Sept. 19 to gauge Americans’ appetite for the change.

Specifically, the Trump administration plans to rescind the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, proposed by the Clinton administration and enacted under the George Bush administration, that generally prohibits new road construction on millions of acres of U.S. Forest Service land. The rule was adopted after hundreds of public meetings and 1.6 million public comments, 95 percent of which supported the roadless protections as a tool to conserve wildlife habitat, improve watershed health, and importantly, reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires on America’s public timberlands."

Closing Roads

Most exploitation of the wild requires roads, and the industrial machine could not afford to constantly repair the road network on public lands if even a few hundred people across the country were making a spare time project of trashing it. Roads are difficult and expensive to maintain, especially in the areas we want to save. Selected areas, such as de facto wildernesses or roadless areas denied protection in the RARE II rip-off, BLM Wilderness Review, and subsequent “Wilderness” legislation, can be protected by closing the unsurfaced roads that are built and used in the process of exploitation. Individuals can use the techniques described here, with simple, cheap tools, to prevent vehicle access to sensitive areas. You can deter the testing needed to prove commercial feasibility for proposed developments such as mining or oil & gas drilling. You can discourage the construction of a timber harvest road in a National Forest roadless area. You also can harass and render unprofitable an existing exploitative enterprise.

hey! i can answer this!

basically, most if not all gaza fundraising was happening on gofundme simply due to name recognition and brand trust. however, gofundme quickly proved itself to be actively complicit in the genocide through its targeting of palestinian fundraisers for deletion and suppression.

my own friend siraj lost over $27,000 he had painstakingly raised over several months when gofundme arbitrarily declared his previously verified fundraiser fraudulent. he instantly lost access to food and housing for his entire family and has not been able to regain that progress since.

by contrast, chuffed has basically never given gaza fundraisers any problems. it actively promotes palestine-related fundraisers on its front page.

chuffed has also been used by the sameer project, crips for esims for gaza, and other palestine orgs for over a year now. after a particularly bad wave of deletions (of which siraj was a victim) people began migrating their fundraisers to chuffed, and it's become the go-to host site for new crowdfunding campaigns.

so if you see a fundraiser on chuffed, that's why!

my friend siraj has since moved his fundraiser to chuffed. if you got something out of this post, please consider donating to him. he needs ~150 euros to afford food for his family.

If you'd like to do something against this, the ACLU is starting a petition to have construction of this ended. Also, they're suing the Trump regime, which might be more practical. There's also the Friends of the Everglades, a smaller group filing a separate lawsuit against the camp on environmental grounds. You can sign the petition or donate to either group and support their actions.

"Why is ContraPoints saying [advocating for Palestine] is totally futile? Because ContraPoints doesn't want to do anything about it... She feels that the only reasonable way to live is to accept that things are bad and not going to change. Even though that is actually unreasonable. Even though it is actually also morally quite bankrupt. You are the one who is experiencing doom. That is the thing that you feel. That does not mean other people are supporting a doomed cause. It means that you feel doom about their cause. Examine why you might feel that way. They thought Vietnam was a doomed cause, too. Cuban revolution was a doomed cause. Chinese revolution was a doomed cause... "Zero Palestinian lives were saved"... I don't think this is true. For instance, think about the vast amount of fundraising campaigns that have tangibly helped, even as aid is blockaded in Israel, that has tangibly helped Palestinians. They have gained support as a result of this activism. So saying "zero Palestinian lives were saved" again, this is not true. This is not true. But second of all, even if it was true, you're going to blame people for speaking out against things that are actually wrong because it wasn't effective enough instead of just like offering better ways to do it? Does something have to be done or not? Does something have to be done or not?"

I wanted to share these quotes from Sang's video because I think he is really getting at something central I notice all the time on tumblr.

So many people from the global north on this website (including the ones who quickly distanced themselves from liberals like ContraPoints), still cling to this unfounded belief in their own supposed powerlessness.

You are not powerless. Your decisions matter and have tangible impact on other people. You are in this world with the rest of us. Whether you want to accept responsibility for your behavior or not, it still meaningfully influences other people's lives.

Take stock of your actual, current impact. What are you already spending your days doing? How can you use your daily life to oppose genocide in Palestine?

If you're reading this you probably spend some of your time on tumblr. So use that to help people in Gaza to get food and medicine.

Last week after writing a post encouraging others to donate to my friend @fadel-dani's campaign (vetted by @gazavetters (#197) and 90-ghost) a lot of you actually did send funds.

Do you realize how much that tangibly improved his life last week?

He told me that he was able to buy flour and eat bread after previously having none for over a week. He was able to get painkillers and experience some small relief from his constant pain.

Your decision whether or not to donate (or whether or not to encourage other people to donate) is power. You are actually very powerful, and your decisions have a big influence on his family's life. You are deciding how to use that power right now.

My name is Fadel Al-Dany, a 23-year-old third-year IT student. My life hasn't … Fadel Aldany needs your support for Help the injured Fadel a

It is a blessing that we have the ability to relieve others' pain.

Send some money to Fadel and know you are using what power you have to help someone. You are a lifeline.

You are inextricably connected to other people. Your presence can be felt as a comfort by other people. Please embrace this.

I have told you time and time and time again.!!! that my family and I are in dire need of your help, and everyone is ignoring us and bypassing us.

Gaza is currently going through a famine and it is very important to donate directly to Palestinians so they can afford what's left of food. Fadel is in need of medication but also food to feed his family and himself.
