"Google Workers Arrested in Protest Against Company's Israeli Government Contract"

Nine Google workers were removed by police from company offices in New York and Sunnyvale after staging a sit-in protest against a cloud contract with Israel’s government. The workers were placed on administrative leave and then detained by police. The protest called on Google to drop a $1.2 billion cloud computing contract with the Israeli government, citing concerns about the contract's involvement with the Israel Defense Forces and potential harm to Palestinians. This incident adds to a series of worker activism related to Israel's conflict with Hamas, with similar protests and resignations occurring at other tech companies like Amazon and Apple.
