I can’t even begin to imagine what an American tech company was doing 1 hr away from Gaza.

Warcrimes. Everyone that close is either actively involved in the genocide or an IDF veteran that previously participated in the genocide.

tech support for genocide.

i mean before the gaza war people in palestine and israel probably had computers.

gonzo-rand19@moist.catsweat.com on 23 Jun 19:00 collapse

Microsoft is not there to make computers for Palestinians. They are there to be military contractors for Israel.

Microsoft software is crucial infrastructure for the israeli military.

All of Microsoft Office, or just Excel, Word and PowerPoint?

Reminder that despite their general anti-consumer practices and data harvesting, they are also complicit in and aiding a genocide.

I know people don’t like Windows 11, but that’s a bit much.

neat. fuck israel. fuck ms clippy. (i think this is where he was hiding out…)

bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de on 23 Jun 15:50 next collapse

No! This is about the same shit Iseael is pulling. Hitting civilian targets is bad! Period!

Not condemning war crimes because you think it is somehow justified is exactly the same shit the Israel apologists are doing.

flandish@lemmy.world on 23 Jun 16:04 collapse

where do I justify civilians? clippy is not a real person and that was sarcasm.

israel, as a nation state, is a run by people doing a genocide.

bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de on 23 Jun 16:12 next collapse

Who do you think is working at Microsoft and that tech park? Not Netanjahu.

flandish@lemmy.world on 23 Jun 16:58 next collapse

why do you think “fuck israel” means “working class employees”?

bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de on 23 Jun 17:07 collapse

From the context of commenting on an article detailing attacks on civilian infrastructure. Or do you just go around commenting on random posts “neat. fuck israel.”?

flandish@lemmy.world on 23 Jun 17:12 collapse

a little of both but what about any corporation in Israel means it’s “civilian”? Do you not know that every adult is a military member? Why is MS an hour away from the border? Civ stuff should not be harmed, but let’s be real - this wasn’t a starbucks. With Israel the first guess is that it’s not civ. Heck, don’t they have military bases across the road from hospitals just so they can claim iran damaged a hospital?

bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de on 23 Jun 17:29 collapse

That … is exactly the stupid “they were Hamas” argument. You are basically advocating for genocide of all Israeli adults.

flandish@lemmy.world on 23 Jun 17:30 collapse

no. i am advocating for the removal of the nation state of israel and all of its genocidal actors. israel does not deserve to be a state.

microsoft getting got maybe is a sign ms should not be there? their presence as a corp there backs a genocide.

civilians dying is what israel DOES. Even if it’s their own.

bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml on 23 Jun 17:42 collapse

Microsoft is literally a weapons contractor in israel, so it’s a valid target.

umbrella@lemmy.ml on 23 Jun 17:47 collapse

AND civilians willingly working for a genocide weapons contractor don’t get much of my sympathy either.

sorry, pack up boys. only israel can attack other countries unopposed.

flandish@lemmy.world on 23 Jun 17:43 collapse

? israel is not real. it should be opposed to the fullest.

They’re agreeing with your point

i think so too. I’m just not processing well today, I think.

cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone on 23 Jun 15:53 collapse

it's bad if you want to avoid all out war because the us will probably use this as justification to go all in.

flandish@lemmy.world on 23 Jun 16:03 next collapse

for sure.

As if they need justification.

Strike first, wait for respons, call it an act of terror, and there we goooo.

Just like Iraq.

Thesilverpig@lemmy.ml on 24 Jun 00:53 collapse

They came on TV every day for a year and a half telling us about Iraq’s WMD’s and we were scared and confused after 9/11.

Now there was no inciting incident, we have the internet with alternative narratives to the state lies, we have a massively depressed economy from decades of wars gutting our middle class and transferring wealth from the middle class to the elite, and they are trying to speed run there propaganda about Iran in like two weeks using the same tired lies they pushed for during Iraq.

So, in their mind it’s just like Iraq, but there is a reason this war only has about 16% support with 64% against. This war will break maga and will break the US before it breaks Iran. That’s my guess anyways.

Oh, and Iran has almost 4 times the population as Iraq did when we invaded it, has witnessed Iraq and Lybia and have been developing and importing weapons independent of the US sphere of influence for decades while Saddam was a US puppet until he wasn’t. So yeah, I don’t think it’ll go the same.
