[HIGHLIGHTS] Google fires its employee who protested the company's aid to Israel at its annual conference

Google fires its employee who protested the company's aid to Israel at its annual conference. The engineer was protesting Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion Israeli government contract for access to cloud services from Google and Amazon.

The employee said, "The Nimbus project exposes members of the Palestinian community to danger." “No to cloud apartheid.” No Tech For Apartheid, an anti-Nimbus organization, published a statement about the engineer's expulsion on Friday. “Google’s goals are clear: The company is trying to silence workers to hide their ethical failings,” the organization said.
