Google Staff Protests Company's $1.2BN Contract With Israel Dozens of Google employees in New York and California held demonstrations and sit-in protests on April 16 to voice their objections against the company's billion-dollar contract with Israel.Google staff were demanding that their company drop its $1.2-billion multi-year project named Project Nimbus which provides cloud and AI services to Israel's government and defence ministry. Google shares the contract with Amazon, another tech company.Tuesday's protests were organised by a group called No Tech for Apartheid, which alleges that Project Nimbus is aiding Israel in its military operations in Gaza.On the X platform late Tuesday, the group said Google had ordered the arrest of several workers who staged sit-ins at Google offices.Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the protests.
