Google fires 28 employees after protests over tech deal with Israeli government

Google has terminated the employment of 28 workers who participated in protests against the company's cloud computing contract with the Israeli government. The protests were organized by a group called No Tech For Apartheid and focused on a $1.2 billion contract that Google and Amazon have to provide technology services to Israel. The dismissals have sparked controversy and accusations of prioritizing business interests over employee concerns.
