Tech giant Microsoft is under fire after reports revealed it is blocking internal emails containing the words 'Palestine', 'Gaza', and 'genocide' — triggering backlash from employees and fuelling an already growing row over the company's ties to Israel.

As tensions soar around the company's cloud services contracts with the Israeli military, staff are raising alarm bells over what they see as corporate censorship of one side of a deeply polarising issue.

The censorship claims arrive on the heels of employee protests led by the internal group 'No Azure for Apartheid'. The group is calling for Microsoft to sever all business with the Israeli government and military.
