"Google Fires Employee for Protesting at Israeli Tech Conference"

A Google Cloud engineer was fired after interrupting a speech at an Israeli tech event in New York to protest against the company's involvement in Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion contract to supply AI and advanced technologies to the Israeli military. The engineer shouted about refusing to build technology that powers genocide or surveillance, referencing concerns raised by Google employees about the project's impact on Palestinian communities. Google cited the engineer's interference with an official company-sponsored event as the reason for his termination.
