Microsoft fires employees, Harvard suspends professors and students over solidarity protests in Gaza

Here in the US, Microsoft fired two employees who organized a vigil for Gaza. The workers, who are both Arab, belonged to the No Azure for Apartheid protest group, which opposes Microsoft’s sale of its cloud technology to Israel.

Meanwhile, Harvard University has temporarily suspended dozens of students and professors from its libraries after staging a series of silent “study-in” protests to draw attention to the genocide in Gaza, as well as the crackdown on free speech at Harvard .
