Google employees stage sit-in at offices in Seattle, New York City, California to protest company's GENOCIDAL contracts with Israel

You may not agree with them on other issues, but many of the employees who work for Google are right about boycotting their employer over its contractual ties with Israel. According to reports, Google employees at the company's Sunnyvale, Calif., office as well as its New York City and Seattle offices, are staging a sit-in. They say they will remain inside the Google offices indefinitely until Google stops doing business with Israel, which is committing genocide against the Palestinian people. As it stands, Google currently maintains a $1.2 billion contract with Israel that Google employees want to see terminated immediately. Their protest, called "No Tech for Apartheid," is being broadcast all over Twitch, X and TikTok. Some of them are also occupying the private office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale. Known as "Project Nimbus," Google's project with Israel allows Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to utilize Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services (AWS) for the purpose of "powering genocide in Gaza." (Related: As we recently reported, Israel is using powerful artificial intelligence [AI] software to murder innocent Palestinians in Gaza – and Israel is using Google's and Amazon's cloud services to facilitate that genocide.)

Kudos to Google employees for standing up for Gaza

The employees' "No Tech for Genocide Day of Action" aims to stop Google from helping Israel commit any further genocide against innocent Palestinians. The official death toll in Gaza is hovering around 35,000 now, the vast majority of these deaths being women and children. Signs Google employees brought to the sit-in say things like "Thomas Kurian: Drop Nimbus," "Googlers Against Genocide," and "Don't Be Evil, Stop Retaliation." One employee's shirt read "Googlers Against Genocide, No Tech for Apartheid." "Google, Google you can't hide, we charge you with genocide. Google, Google you can’t hide, you are funding genocide," the employees also chanted out loud towards Google CEO Sundar Pichai. On a special website they created, the Google employees state that they will not stop the sit-in until Project Nimbus is ended or until they are all arrested, which would leave Google with very few employees to keep its operations running. "Google workers do not want their labor to power Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza," the website states. "That's why on April 16, Google workers with No Tech For Apartheid are leading a coast-to-coast day of action to demand that Google stop doing business with Israel and providing tech to this genocide." "The time is now to rise up against Project Nimbus, in support of Palestinian liberation, and join calls to end the Israeli occupation and genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. This has never been more urgent." The group is also demanding that Google "stop the harassment, intimidation, bullying, silencing, and censorship of Palestinian, Arab, Muslim Googlers," as well as "address the health and safety crisis among Google workers." Hilariously and powerfully, the employees livestreamed their occupation of Kurian's office, whose name can be seen in the video all around his office on his desk and on a custom Laker's jersey up on his wall. It has been reported that some of the sit-in employees have been arrested as you can see in the following video clip: "Watch for a huge false flag attack like 9/11 to be blamed on Iran this time," one of our own readers wrote about what Israel might try to do as it gets backed into a corner with the entire world protesting its genocide. "This will be used to get America to help 'Israel' fight Iran," this person added. (Related: If Israel attacks Iran again, it is going to have to do it alone at its own risk.)
