Google Punishes Workers and Whistleblowers
Despite mounting evidence that Google enables genocide, the company’s leadership denies the violence that Israel is inflicting upon the Palestinian people, and retaliates against workers who protest Google’s complicity in this genocide.
Google has fired over 50 of its workers for protesting Project Nimbus and the company’s ongoing partnerships with Israel’s government, military and weapons manufacturers.
“We participated in this protest because we could see all too clearly how our day-to-day work at Google was aiding and abetting Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. As tech workers…[w]e have been distressed to see our own creativity, innovation, and love of technology be used for warfare.”

“Instead of engaging with us in good faith, our leadership evaded our concerns, targeted messages that expressed support for Palestine or opposition to the genocide, and censored our internal communications network.”
