How wonderful that such courageous people exist who dare to stand up and speak out against Microsoft’s complicity in the genocide. I applaud you and will do what I can to avoid the games and co-pilot and anything that brings in the billions so they can continue helping the Israeli military do their evil work.
I totally agree with Frances Kay’s comments.
What I find shocking is the power of the Israeli Lobby. It’s taken them many decades, using many methods, including Financial bribery through to threats ie ruining someone’s career and much more. I remember reading about the Nuremberg trials charging leading Nazis for their War Crimes and crimes against humanity, yet I fear that the top Israelis are going to get away with their heinous crimes, all due to the power of their world wide Lobby. I hope and pray that I’m wrong.
