Google fires 28 employees after sit-in protest over controversial Project Nimbus contract with Israel

Google has terminated the employment of 28 employees who participated in a sit-in protest against the company's cloud computing contract with the Israeli government and military. The controversial project, known as Project Nimbus, has faced criticism since 2021 as it allegedly involves providing technology to support Israel's actions in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The protesters claim that Google's involvement makes the company complicit in the "genocide of the Palestinian people". During the protests, some employees were arrested and forcibly removed from the offices. Google stated that physically impeding work and preventing access to facilities is a violation of policies.
