⭕️ NEW: Microsoft Israel Chief Ousted, Branch Placed Under French Management After Investigation Into Defense Ministry Ties Microsoft abruptly ousted its Israel country manager Alon Haimovich last week and transferred the Israeli branch to operate under Microsoft France pending a permanent replacement — after an internal global investigation found conduct that was “not transparent towards global management” and violated the company’s terms of service, Israeli outlets Globes and Ynet report. The crisis stems from The Guardian’s revelation that Israeli intelligence Unit 8200 secretly built a mass surveillance system storing recordings of millions of Palestinian phone calls daily on Microsoft’s Azure servers in Europe — allegedly arranged in a 2021 personal meeting between CEO Satya Nadella and Unit 8200’s commander. Microsoft terminated Unit 8200’s usage agreement in September 2025, but the investigation revealed Unit 8200 was only the “tip of the iceberg,” with additional IDF units found to have been using Microsoft systems, Globes reported. Global management reportedly fears further undisclosed violations that could expose the company to major lawsuits and regulatory fines in Europe.



Front page of the NYTimes - accusing IDF & Israelis of "mass rape". Not a single shred of evidence was listed in the piece, other than the testimonies of 14 people, most of whom are connected to Hamas. I'm at a loss for words.





This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…



It was just a matter of time until the Antisemites come out of their filthy holes and join the campaign of lies against me. The classic tropes: Mossad, controlling the world, trying to make money. Decent people here should come out publicly against this kind of hate


So grateful Lebanese paramedics are wearing body cams. They are documenting, in real time, the war crimes they endure. No more doubting them, no more “where is the proof?” Another double-tap attack today caught on camera: as rescuers of the Civil Defence of the Islamic Health Authority inspected the site of a previously targeted building, Israeli jets struck the location again directly, injuring two paramedics.
