Pro-Terrorist Protesters Are At It Again!

Disrupting Microsoft AI Conference in Seattle.

Hey, everyone, Welcome back to Current Events on Wars and Conflicts of the World, by Historyguy.com!

Seattle again has problems with militant activists disrupting society! Pro-Hamas demonstrators caused a ruckus at Microsoft’s Build 2025 conference on May 19th and again on the 20th, and it’s time to call out this nonsense!

The conference relates to Microsoft’s Azure, which is a cloud computing platform that offers a wide range of services, including computing, storage, networking, and AI.

The Seattle Times reports dozens of so-called ‘No Azure for Apartheid’ activists tried storming the Seattle Convention Center, waving Palestinian flags and chanting pro-Palestinian slogans. They’re whining about Microsoft’s tech deals with Israel, despite zero evidence Microsoft’s AI harms Gaza civilians!

These pro-Hamas protesters like to ignore the fact that Israel is the Middle East’s only true democracy, and it does NOT practice Apartheid.  Israel’s Arab and Muslim minority has full voting rights, and have representation in the Israeli Knesset.

Back in Seattle, these protesters clashed with police, got pepper-sprayed, with at least one arrested! They’re not ‘peaceful’—they’re disrupting a tech event in order to push their pro-Hamas agenda, glorifying a terrorist group that’s caused nothing but chaos and pain!

On the good side, despite Seattle’s super-progressive city government, the Seattle Police were allowed to take action and end the chaos. Good job, Seattle PD!

Microsoft’s doing business, not war crimes. These protesters need to stop excusing Hamas and disrupting our city! Comment below—subscribe for more!
