Several dozen people demonstrated on Tuesday in front of Google offices in the United States. They demanded the cancellation of a contract between their company and the Israeli army and government.
Some of the demonstrators held up signs using the font and colors of the famous Google logo, substituting the word "genocide" in reference to the Palestinian civilian victims of Israel's offensive in Gaza. Google fired 28 of its employees who took part in a demonstration on Tuesday, accusing them of having prevented their colleagues from going to their workplace. Some occupied the Sunnyvale office of the general director of Google Cloud (a subsidiary dedicated to remote computing), Thomas Kurian, for several hours. The Nimbus project was "not intended for highly sensitive, classified, or military tasks related to weapons or intelligence services", a Google spokesperson said.
