"Google Employees Protest $1.2B Contract with Israeli Military"
TL;DR
Google employees, part of a group called "No Tech for Apartheid," protested the tech giant's ties to the Israeli government by storming offices in California, New York City, and Seattle. They demanded the cancellation of a $1.2 billion contract with Israel, accusing the government of carrying out a "genocide" in the Gaza Strip. The protest follows a public berating of an Israel-based executive by a Google software engineer, who was subsequently fired. The employees livestreamed the sit-in on Twitch and voiced concerns about the technology being used by Israel's military against Palestinians.
