They say it has left them unable to access bank accounts and job offers - and stopped them using Skype, which Microsoft owns, to contact relatives in war-torn Gaza.
Microsoft says they violated its terms of service - a claim they dispute.
“They killed my life online,” said Eiad Hametto, who lives in Saudi Arabia.
“They’ve suspended my email account that I’ve had for nearly 20 years - It was connected to all my work,” he told the BBC.
He also said being cut off from Skype was a huge blow for his family.
The internet is frequently disrupted or switched off there because of the Israeli military campaign - and standard international calls are very expensive.
Israel launched its offensive in Gaza in response to the Hamas attack on 7 October, which killed about 1,200 people. The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says more than 38,000 people have been killed in the war.
Oh, but, antisemitism is the problem. Yeah. It seems like the Israelis have completely forgotten what happen to the Jews in Germany. No concern or compassion for history.
You have to understand during WW2 Zionists (including Netanyahu’s mentor figure) literally tried to ally with the Nazis against the British who controlled Palestine at the time.
Israel didn’t forget what happened during the holocaust, they just don’t give a shit. If anything if got them their land and people to come colonise it.
Israel gave more than a shit about the Holocaust, they expected the survivors to come and colonize Israel… but they realized that they were going to be short of the desired million people, so they intentionally antagonized Arab countries as much as possible, so Jews would have to flee them and seek refuge by populating Israel.
