"Google CEO Fires 28 Employees for Anti-Israel Protests"

Google CEO Sundar Pichai sent a memo to employees, emphasizing that the workplace is not a platform for political debates or disruptive actions, following the firing of 28 workers who protested the company's ties to Israel. The protests, part of a "No Tech for Genocide Day of Action," led to arrests and terminations. Pichai's message came after Google's vice president of global security criticized the protesters for their behavior, stating that it violated company policies. The fired staffers were affiliated with a group critical of Google's involvement in a $1.2 billion contract with the Israeli government.
