Google has terminated 28 employees following demonstrations against the company’s cloud computing agreement with the Israeli government. The dismissals came after workers staged sit-ins at Google’s offices in California and New York, protesting the $1.2 billion contract to supply specialized tools for Israel’s military. The tech giant confirmed the terminations, citing disruptions caused by a minority of protesters who refused to vacate the premises despite multiple requests. However, the group behind the protests, No Tech for Apartheid, contested Google’s narrative, asserting that individuals who didn’t directly participate were also fired. The group dismissed Google’s claim of the protests being orchestrated by external entities and shared media showcasing workers holding placards and chanting slogans within Google’s premises.
