"Google Terminates 28 Employees for Protesting Cloud Contract with Israel"

Google terminated 28 employees following protests against the company's contract to provide cloud computing and AI services to the Israeli government and military. The protests, led by the "No Tech For Apartheid" organization, resulted in arrests and terminations. The terminated employees were found to be involved in disruptive behavior, violating company policies. The protests reflect growing employee opposition to Google's military use of its technology, with previous incidents including the firing of an engineer and the shutdown of an internal message board.
