Yeah, I have to admit, this doesn't come to me with any surprise.
#Microsoft has contracts with #military and military contractors, therefor it shouldn't be surprising, that any #tech in their #portfolio is open for sale, especially the dual-use ones. 
What surprised me in the last weeks, that #arabic family clans in #Gaza protested loud enough against Hamas, that (at least first) Al Jazeera ignored it, while international outlets seemed to pick it up.
But the #worst in my humble opinion that I didn't notice any loud response out of the other Arabic countries to support these protests, yet. I think this is equally irresponsible, as it looks like the definition of "collateral damage" the IDF takes into account on the behalf of the #israel government.
This whole #shitshow there is straining my tolerance for ambiguity to the max.
