I don't know if it's _true_, but it seems right? I don't want Microsoft to have this level of visibility into my usage of Azure, just like I don't want my phone provider to eavesdrop on my conversations. I'm no privacy ayatollah, but this seems like a reasonable amount of privacy from Microsoft

Thanks for this one, putting in request to my manager to change my job title to data pope, since our titles are all meaningless anyway might as well have a fun one.

No, a Shah is a hereditary ruler (a King), whereas an Ayatollah is more like a Bishop (ie a religious leader, but not the top guy such as the Pope in Roman Catholicism)

I have seen "czar" used as an informal title to denote ownership of a domain, e.g. the "security czar."

I suppose it originates from the term "border czar" and others in politics e.g. https://www.politico.com/story/2009/09/president-obamas-czar...

The UN says differently. Should I just take Israel's word for it?

No, you should not just take Israel's word for it. But you should most certainly understand who the UN is, and how they have come to the conclusions they have come to. Here is a good start:

Bad Hasbara copy paste. Not the good kind that mentions Matt Lieb or Daniel Mate either
