Google has fired more than two dozen employees for protesting the company's $1.2 billion contract to provide the Israeli government and military with cloud and artificial intelligence services.
The 28 firings come after nine employees were arrested Tuesday night following a sit-in at the company's offices in Seattle, New York and Sunnyvale, California--including one at Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian's office, according to the group that organized the demonstration, No Tech for Apartheid.
Protestors sat in his office for more than nine hours, wearing shirts and raising banners that read "No more genocide for profit," until their eventual arrest.
