A BBC investigation reveals that Microsoft is permanently banning Palestinians in the U.S. and other countries who use Skype to call relatives in Gaza.
Reportedly, Microsoft has been banning and wiping the accounts of users who have leveraged Skype to contact relatives in Gaza. In some cases, email accounts over a decade old have been locked, destroying access to banking accounts, OneDrive storage, and beyond.
United States resident Salah Elsadi lost his account of over 15 years in the dragnet. “I’ve had this Hotmail for 15 years. They banned me for no reason, saying I have violated their terms — what terms? Tell me. I’ve filled out about 50 forms and called them many many times.” Eiad Hametto from Saudi Arabia echoed the report, “We are civilians with no political background who just wanted to check on our families. They’ve suspended my email account that I’ve had for nearly 20 years. It was connected to all my work. They killed my life online.”
Many of the users affected by the bans expressed that Microsoft may be falsely labelling them as Hamas
I mean sure maybe the August 4th incident was overblown but the August 2nd 1964 incident did happen where our ship was attacked by Vietnam torpedo boats. Maybe you get attacked and don’t do shit at all about it who is the real clown there?
Ohhhh got it, only one false flag attack was committed by the US. That means the war in Vietnam was justified.
To be clear regarding “false flag” operations for anyone unaware: this entails attacking our own military in order to provide spurious cassus belli to enter a conflict we had no valid reason to enter. In this case, a civil war on the other side of the planet, in a bay we should never have been in to begin with.
How stupid does a person need to be to think that, not only was the war in Vietnam justified, but that the Gulf of Tonkin false flag incident is that justification?
Vietnam torpedo boats attacked our ship on August 2 1964. Deny that fact as much as you want. Our ship was in international waters when attacked. There were multiple justifications to get in that war I don’t really care to get into them. Tldr: We help our allies and protect democracy in the region.
LMAO. Your military protects interests of the billionaires and their economy. It has fuck all to do about democracy.
But keep guzzling whatever you already are, those braincells aren’t going to repeat propaganda by itself.
South Vietnam allied. Democracy in the region couldn’t fall because it creates a domino effect where democracy looks week.
Wtf are you talking about billionaires. Our military protects the interests of all our allies especially European and Asian.

You use re-vanced lmfao. Fuck outta here brokie. Just a sad propagandized loser who despises their own country.
Lol nothing says confidence like going through someone’s comment history to try to find things to hurt them… Good think I’m not ashamed of either of those things.
And just to clarify the latter: criticizing your own country because of the awful things it is doing ≠ hate. Usually it’s literally the opposite. If I despised my country, I wouldn’t be so distraught as I watch it being sold for parts for next to nothing.

Right?! Could you imagine if some country attacked one of our naval ships and we didn’t do anything about it?
Hold on, I need my popcorn for this!
The 6 day Israel-Arab war. A casualty was encourred and Israel pleaded it was an accidental casualty of war. They made concessions.
The gulf of tonkin. Not a casualty but a calculated attack.
Yep complete accident. Have you read any of the reports? The ship was broadcasting it’s nationality in every way possible. The only way it was a mistake was if the Israelis turned off all of their communications and fired with their eyes closed.
Yes indeed I did. It’s completely false the ship was broadcasting nationality in every way possible. The ship wasn’t even suppose to be as close as it was because they were experiencing multiple communication failures. Nice bullshit comment though.
The ship was in international waters and clearly not a warship. That orders to move away given in an abundance of caution didn’t arrive in time has no bearing on the situation. It should not have been attacked for that reason alone. Pilots were clearly able to identify the ship as there are several recorded exchanges in Israeli headquarters about it being an American ship before it was attacked and visual contact with pilots was their only contact with Israeli forces until they were attacked. So even the attacking pilots should have known. The only reason they would attack anyways is if they had direct orders to fire, with that knowledge. In fact in one of the recordings they bring up the American ship and are ordered to fire anyways.
Once there was an attempt at communication, the response was ignored and they were torpedoed anyways.
There’s no way to interpret this as anything other than a brazen and willing war crime to neutralize an American ship.
I’ve read the unclassified investigation reports. A lot of what you say is simply made up. In fact pilots initially thought it was an Egyptian vessel through efforts to identify the ship which was clouded in smoke after failing to signal the ship to identify themselves. It wasn’t until after the attack launched and one torpedo boat approached an opposite side of the liberty did they see the ships hull number therefore realizing they falsely identified the ship and called off the attack.
Yea because their shoreline was being shelled for hours at that point and the ship was heading towards one of their ports. You may not realize but every minute matters in war. The Liberty ignored the request to identify which was one of a few mistakes made.
You read the Israeli propaganda then. Because this is all a matter of public record, even the Israeli pilots doing the attack have admitted they were able to read the ships identification off the hull after they bombed the flag away.
The IDF has shown itself to be completely incapable of telling the truth and American presidents just accepted that during the cold war. But that time is gone and over. Public sentiment is finally turning against the apartheid regime. So the second your last silent generation defender is gone the sanctions are going to come. Your F-35s are going to be like Iran’s F-14s.
