"Google Fires 28 Employees Over Israel Contract Protest"

Google has fired 28 employees following protests over a $1.2 billion contract with the Israeli government for cloud computing and AI services, leading to tensions and arrests. The company cited "completely unacceptable behavior" and a threatening atmosphere as reasons for the firings, while the protesting group, No Tech For Apartheid, accused Google of prioritizing the contract over its workers. This incident adds to previous employee uprisings over ethical concerns, but Google's revenue continues to thrive primarily through digital advertising.

"Google Fires 28 Employees Over Israeli Government Contract Protest"

Google terminated 28 employees who participated in protests against the company's cloud contract with the Israeli government, citing disruption of work and violation of policies. The protesting employees, affiliated with the No Tech for Apartheid campaign, accused Google of valuing its contract with the Israeli government over its workers. The contract in question, Project Nimbus, is a $1.2bn deal to supply cloud services to the Israeli government, which the protesting faction claims supports the development of military tools. This is not the first time Google has faced internal resistance over its government contracts, as employees successfully pushed the company to shelve a contract with the US military in 2018.

"Google Fires 28 Workers Over Protests Against Israel Cloud Deal"

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. The fired employees and activist groups accuse Google of illegal behavior and retaliation, while Google maintains that the contract is not directed at military or classified work.
