"Google Fires 28 Workers Over Israeli Contract Protests"

Google has fired 28 employees for protesting the company's $1.2 billion contract to provide cloud and artificial intelligence services to the Israeli government and military. The protests, organized by No Tech for Apartheid, included a sit-in at Google offices in multiple locations, resulting in nine arrests. The fired employees were accused of disrupting work and violating company policies. The group claims the firings were retaliatory and accuses Google of prioritizing its contract with the Israeli government over its employees. The protests also highlighted concerns about labor conditions and the impact on Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim colleagues.
