The BDS National Committee (BNC) has decided to make Microsoft a “priority target” to pressure the company to end its support for Israel’s war effort, after revelations that its AI and cloud services have been heavily used in the genocidal assault, organizers told Drop Site News.

Two Microsoft employees fired for their activism, Abdo Mohamed and Hossam Nasr, played key roles in driving the BNC’s decision. The pair organized a vigil outside the company’s headquarters in 2024.

The committee is asking all those who have taken its pledge to take three concrete steps

1. Cancel your Xbox Game Pass subscription
2. Boycott Candy Crush, Minecraft, and Call of Duty—flagship videogame franchises owned by Microsoft
3. Boycott all Microsoft Gaming products, including Xbox-branded consoles, headsets, accessories, and all games published by Microsoft-owned publishing labels (such as Xbox Game Studios, Activision, Bethesda and Blizzard)

BDS calls for Boycott of Microsoft Game Pass, Minecraft, New XBox Consoles

No more Call of Duty. No more Minecraft. No more XBox (unless you already own one).
