Microsoft Workers Protesting Israel Ties Rally at Company HQ

Microsoft Corp. employees rallied at the company’s Redmond, Washington, headquarters in an effort to ratchet up pressure on the software maker to stop doing business with Israel over its war in Gaza.

Protesters started gathering Tuesday afternoon at a plaza at the center of a recently redeveloped portion of the company’s main campus, which extends over about 500 acres in the suburban town east of Seattle. They set up tents and declared the space a “liberated zone.”
