I'm not trying to argue pro Israel or what not, I just wish they'd focus on their core mission.

Pointing complicity with a regime that killed over 260 journalists[1] has a very strong focus and serves well free speech.

IOW this isn't an ethical or moral stance against what the Ministry of Defense was doing, it's purely because they could potentially get in trouble with the EU for abetting the genocide.

You are incorrect. Microsoft has made clear that it is related to all of its Azure services that were misused with regards to its terms of services, not just those in Europe.

Here is Microsoft's original statement when it began this investigation:

"The Guardian, on that date, reported that multiple individuals have asserted that the IDF is using Azure for the storage of data files of phone calls obtained through broad or mass surveillance of civilians in Gaza and the West Bank. Microsoft’s standard terms of service prohibit this type of usage."

I am so confused by these statements. Microsoft and other private companies do not have to knowingly violate human rights in the service of the US government whether it is war or not.

Yup you are correct. In parallel to the ICJ genocide case of South Africa v Israel, there is a case against Germany for its action in support of Israel on that exact topic:

It makes Americans seethe with rage ofcourse- only Americans are allowed to put pressure on corporations.

GENEVA – Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel said in a new report today. The Commission urges Israel and all States to fulfil their legal obligations under international law to end the genocide and punish those responsible for it.

The current president of the UN HRC is from Indonesia, which has been backsliding dramatically on human rights over the last decade. I’ll expect to see a UNHRC report on that roughly never.

The UN is a political tool at best, and frankly a joke.

Look, you have to understand that you and I are looking at this from a western lense. The west is EXTREMELY pro-israel. So your Overton window isnt just shifted a little buddy. It's fucking whiplashed alllllll the way to one side. So yes, from your perspective or mine the UN might appear as not pro Israel.

But um, they are, and quite a bit too. Again, if you want to see actual real anti-israel reporting, read stuff from Iran. You will surely notice it sounds very, very different from how the UN portrays Israel.

Fully agreed, but also a hard sell given that America itself does not recognize what is happening there as a genocide.

Something something man understanding depending on his salary.

Americans only give a shit about the price of gas and eggs. Whoever has to die to keep those down is apparently fine with the majority of our population.

This has nothing to do with a declaration of genocide. Both Amazon and Google respectively have made commitments to not enable human rights violations:

Do they have a choice?
