Google fired 28 employees who protested against a $1.2 billion cloud contract with Israel, which they believe could contribute to harm against Palestinians. The firings followed sit-in protests and police detentions, with Google claiming the employees physically impeded work and refused to leave the premises. The contract, known as Project Nimbus, has raised concerns about providing advanced technology to Israel's security apparatus.
