From the comments section:
Reporting like this is why I'm a Verge subscriber.
Also -- did folks in the comments skip reading Aboussad's letter, or do they just sorta assume everyone with a Muslim-sounding name is a terrorist?
I think I missed the part where she wrote "October 7th was good, actually" in her email.
Can any of you find that paragraph for me?

Call to Action
Silence is complicity. But action always has a reaction, no matter how big or small.
As workers for this company, we must make our voices heard, and demand that Microsoft does the right thing:
stop selling technology to the Israeli military.
If you are also concerned about this news, and you also want your work to be used ethically, I urge you to take action:
Sign the No Azure for Apartheid petition:
We will not write code that kills.
And join the campaign to add your voice to the growing number of concerned Microsoft employees.
Join me in showing our discontent in this thread.
If you also feel tricked into deploying weapons which target children and civilians, urge leadership (CC’ed) to drop these contracts.
Don’t stop speaking up.
Urge SLT to drop these contracts at every opportunity.
Start conversations with your co-workers about the points above - so many employees may not know!
Microsoft’s human rights statement prohibits retaliation against anyone who raises a human rights-related concern:
-- Human rights statement | Microsoft CSR
Our company has precedents in supporting human rights,
including divestment from apartheid South Africa and dropping contracts with AnyVision (Israeli facial recognition startup),
after Microsoft employee and community protests.
My hope is that our collective voices will motivate our AI leaders to do the same,
and correct Microsoft’s actions regarding these human rights violations,
to avoid a stained legacy.
Microsoft Cloud and AI should stop being the bombs and bullets of the 21st century.
Sincerely,
A concerned Microsoft employee

A Microsoft employee disrupted the company’s 50th anniversary event to protest its use of AI.
“Shame on you,” said Microsoft employee #Ibtihal #Aboussad, speaking directly to Microsoft AI CEO #Mustafa #Suleyman.
“You are a war profiteer. Stop using AI for genocide. Stop using AI for genocide in our region.
You have blood on your hands. All of Microsoft has blood on its hands. How dare you all celebrate when Microsoft is killing children. Shame on you all"

Operation Manatee Music Prize: Top 5 Albums of 2024
This has been a year! As always, the amount of excellent new music being released is just overwhelming. I'm lucky to spend a lot of time with headphones on, sifting through every release that comes along. Sure, there's plenty of mediocre (or just bad) drivel, as well, but I'm willing to put in that work to find the gems. And they're always there.

The only thing I've purchased so far this #BandcampFriday is #Mustafa 's heartbreakingly beautiful album, #dunya
Highly recommended!

Ishq-e-Rasool (SAW) ❤ - Dr. Allama Muhammad Iqbal
کی محمّدؐ سے وفا تُو نے تو ہم تیرے ہیں
یہ جہاں چیز ہے کیا، لوح و قلم تیرے ہیں
نگاہِ عشق و مستی میں وہی اوّل، وہی آخر
وہی قُرآں، وہی فُرقاں، وہی یٰسیں، وہی طٰہٰ

(Bal-e-Jibril-132) Zauq-o-Shauq
Shauq Tera Agar Na Ho Meri Namaz Ka Imam
Mera Qiyam Bhi Hijab, Mera Sajood Bhi Hijab
If my prayers are not led by my passion for you,
My standing and prostration would just be veils upon my soul.
شوق ترا اگر نہ ہو میری نماز کا امام
میرا قیام بھی حجاب، میرا سجود بھی حجاب

Mustafa wächst in Regent Park, in Toronta auf. Armut, Gewalt und Kriminalität prägen seine Jugend. Mit zwölf Jahren schreibt er seine ersten Gedichte über soziale Ungerechtigkeit – und macht sich schnell einen Namen als poetisches Wunderkind.
