TL;DR

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, called it a "flagrant act of retaliation" and emphasized their right to peacefully protest labor conditions. The contract in question, Project Nimbus, has raised concerns about supporting the development of military tools by the Israeli government, although Google maintains that it is not directed at sensitive or military workloads.
