Google Fires 28 Employees Over Israeli Contract Protest

Google fired 28 workers on Wednesday after protests at its New York and Sunnyvale, Calif., offices against a cloud computing contract with the Israeli government. Nine employees were previously arrested for trespassing. The spokeswoman denounced disrupting work as a clear policy violation. Tensions over Project Nimbus, supplying cloud services to Israel, escalated during the Gaza conflict, resulting in dismissals and internal forum adjustments. Investigation into the protests persists.
