Microsoft dismissed a worker who protested the company’s agreement with the Israeli soldiers during the CEO of CEO

Microsoft dismissed an employee who interrupted a speech by the CEO Satya Nadella to protest against the work of the company to provide the Israeli army with a technology used for the war in Gaza.

Software engineer Joe Lopez could be heard shouting in Nadella in the first minutes on Monday at the annual conference of construction developers of the technology giant in Seattle before being escaped from the room. Lopez then sent a mass email to his colleagues contesting the company’s statements on how its Azure Cloud Computing platform is used in Gaza.

Lopez’s eplos was the first of several pro-Palestinian disturbances during the event that attracted thousands of software developers to the Seattle Convention Center. At least three interviews by leaders have been disrupted, the company has even briefly reduced the audio of a live event. The demonstrators also gathered outside the place.

Microsoft previously dismissed employees who protested against the events of the company for his work in Israel, including during his 50th anniversary in April.

Microsoft recognized last week that he had provided IA services to the Israeli army for the war in Gaza, but said that he had found no evidence to date that his Azure platform and his IA technologies had been used to target or harm people in Gaza.

The plaid group No Azure for apartheid, led by employees and former employees, said Lopez received a letter of dismissal after his demonstration on Monday but could not open it. The group also claims that the company has blocked internal emails which mention words such as “Palestine” and “Gaza”.

Microsoft did not return requests by email of comments on his response to this week’s demonstrations. The four -day conference ends on Thursday.
