Google Fires Employees for Protesting Israel Contract

Google Fires Employees , for Protesting Israel Contract.

28 Google workers have been fired for protesting a $1.2 billion contract that the company has with the Israeli government and military to provide cloud and AI services, NBC News reports.

.

The firings follow an April 16 sit-in at Google's offices in California, New York and Seattle in which nine workers were arrested.

The group that coordinated the demonstration is known as No Tech for Apartheid.

.

Google issued a statement about the recent firings.

A small number of employee protesters entered and disrupted a few of our locations.

, Google spokesperson, via statement.

Physically impeding other employees’ work and preventing them from accessing our facilities is a clear violation of our policies, and completely unacceptable behavior.

, Google spokesperson, via statement.

We have so far concluded individual investigations that resulted in the termination of employment for 28 employees, and will continue to investigate and take action as needed, Google spokesperson, via statement.

No Tech for Apartheid claims that the workers were fired "indiscriminately.".

This excuse to avoid confronting us and our concerns directly, and attempt to justify its illegal, retaliatory firings, is a lie, No Tech for Apartheid, via statement.

Meanwhile, many of Google's workers have reportedly quit after experiencing "mental health consequences of working at a company that is using their labor to enable a genocide," No Tech for Apartheid said.

On a personal level, I am opposed to Google taking any military contracts — no matter which government they’re with or what exactly the contract is about.

, Cheyne Anderson, a Google Cloud software engineer based in Washington who was arrested during a sit-in, to CNBC

IDF's Massacre In Gaza: 29 Killed In 3-Hour Non-Stop Blitz On HAMAS | Shocking Videos Come Out

Overnight in Gaza, relentless airstrikes and shelling between midnight and 3 a.m. marked one of the most violent nights in recent memory. Strikes hit every corner of Gaza City—east, west, and center—leaving families devastated. A bombing on the Bakr family home killed four, while other neighborhoods like Khan Younis, Jabalia, and Rafah faced nonstop attacks. Civil defense bulldozers were destroyed, and key infrastructure was targeted. As the humanitarian crisis worsens, the strategy appears to focus on crippling Gaza’s emergency response capabilities. #Gaza #GazaUnderAttack #Airstrikes #IsraelGaza #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #WarOnGaza #KhanYounis #Jabalia #Rafah #Tuffah #Daraj #CivilDefense #GazaCity #Palestine #Israel #ConflictNews #GazaWar #LiveUpdates #Crisis #Bombardment #Strikes #OvernightAttack #HumanitarianCrisis #GazaNews #OccupiedPalestine #GazaStrip #MiddleEastConflict #PalestineResist #GazaEmergency #Shelling Also Read Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Warns Hamas As Israel Strikes Gaza Amid Truce Collapse: 'Negotiations Only Under Fire' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-warns-hamas-as-israel-strikes-gaza-amid-truce-collapse-negotiations-only-under-fire-4098633.html?ref=DMDesc Israeli Airstrikes Have Killed At Least 200 People In Gaza, Health Officials Say :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israeli-airstrikes-have-killed-at-least-200-people-in-gaza-health-officials-say-4097629.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~
