GOOGLE FIRES WORKERS FOR PROTESTING ISRAELI PROJECT
No Tech for Apartheid (@notechapartheid), a project of M Power Change (@mpower_change) and Jewish Voice for Peace (@jvplive), has accused Google of retaliation for firing as many as 50 workers the tech giant says protested Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion cloud computing contract with Israel's military.
Nine workers filmed their sit-in protest and arrests on 16 April at the company's offices in New York and California. That included a protest in Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian's office.
Protests also have taken place at US universities to hold institutions accountable for investing their endowments in Israel. Frustration has grown because the United States has vetoed three ceasefire proposals at the UN Security Council, and it has been supplying weapons to Israel. Just a few days after reports emerged of mass graves at two Gaza hospitals, President Joe Biden signed off on $26 billion of unconditional military aid to Israel.
In January, the International Court of Justice ruled in South Africa's case against Israel that Israel's acts are 'plausibly' violating the 1948 UN Genocide Convention. More than 34,000 Palestinians, most of whom are women and children, have been killed since the 7 October escalation in the 75-year Israeli occupation of Palestine.
