Google Fires Employees for Protesting Israel Contract
Google Fires Employees , for Protesting Israel Contract.
28 Google workers have been fired for protesting
a $1.2 billion contract that the company has with
the Israeli government and military to provide
cloud and AI services, NBC News reports.
.
The firings follow an April 16 sit-in at
Google's offices in California, New York and Seattle in which nine workers were arrested.
The group that coordinated the demonstration
is known as No Tech for Apartheid.
.
Google issued a statement about the recent firings.
A small number of employee
protesters entered and disrupted
a few of our locations.
, Google spokesperson, via statement.
Physically impeding other employees’
work and preventing them from
accessing our facilities is a clear
violation of our policies, and
completely unacceptable behavior.
, Google spokesperson, via statement.
We have so far concluded
individual investigations that
resulted in the termination of
employment for 28 employees,
and will continue to investigate
and take action as needed, Google spokesperson, via statement.
No Tech for Apartheid claims that the
workers were fired "indiscriminately.".
This excuse to avoid confronting
us and our concerns directly,
and attempt to justify its illegal,
retaliatory firings, is a lie, No Tech for Apartheid, via statement.
Meanwhile, many of Google's workers have
reportedly quit after experiencing "mental health consequences of working at a company that is using their labor to enable a genocide," No Tech for Apartheid said.
On a personal level, I am opposed
to Google taking any military
contracts — no matter which
government they’re with or what
exactly the contract is about.

in Washington who was arrested during a sit-in, to CNBC
Canada has officially scrapped its controversial 3% Digital Services Tax after former U.S. President Donald Trump halted all trade talks and threatened new tariffs. The tax, set to target tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Meta, faced intense U.S. backlash. Finance Minister Champagne said rescinding the tax is essential to reviving stalled negotiations. Ottawa had previously vowed not to yield, but with over 80% of Canadian exports reliant on the U.S., the rollback clears the way for renewed talks ahead of a July 21, 2025 deadline.

Explained! Why President Trump abruptly ended all trade talks with Canada. Trump called Canada's Digital Services Tax a “direct & blatant attack” on U.S. firms. The tax, retroactive to 2022, targets tech giants like Amazon, Meta, and Google, sparking fierce backlash. Trump also threatened new tariffs on Canadian exports, reigniting major trade tensions. With over 80% of Canadian exports headed to the U.S., the move could disrupt industries and escalate economic strain on both sides of the border.

The United States has abruptly paused deliveries of key military aid—air defence ammunition, missiles, and artillery shells—to Ukraine under Trump’s “America First” doctrine. Ukrainian MPs blasted this move, insisting “the United States is no longer our ally.” Mariana Bezuglaya and Solomiya Bobrovskaya accused the administration of sidelining Kyiv, even summoning the US chargé d’affaires to demand resumed support. President Trump told Zelensky at The Hague that US systems are “very hard to get” and prioritized for national and Israeli defense. Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed a “capability review” to align aid with US interests. Kiev warns that this retrenchment could empower Russian advances toward Dnipro and Sumy, diminishing Ukraine’s defence. Moscow, unburdened, claims strategic initiative on the frontline. The aid suspension represents a major shift in US foreign policy and risks weakening Ukraine’s resistance as the war grinds on.

Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated once again after Tehran suspended cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) following US and Israeli strikes on its nuclear facilities. US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce called Iran’s move "unacceptable" and urged Tehran to resume full cooperation under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
In this video, we break down what led to the latest nuclear standoff, the implications of Iran possibly exiting the NPT, the frozen US-Iran nuclear talks, and what Donald Trump and Biden are saying about sanctions and diplomacy. Will Iran return to the negotiating table, or are we on the brink of a new nuclear crisis?
Stay tuned as we unpack the geopolitical stakes, regional fallout, and what this means for global non-proliferation efforts.

The Al-Qassam and Al-Aqsa Brigades launched a brutal joint assault on Israeli troops in Khan Younis, using short-range rockets and 60mm mortar shells to pound IDF positions. Footage shows Israeli soldiers trapped under relentless fire in Kaf al-Qarara. These attacks are part of a renewed wave of ambushes and explosive tactics. Despite intense Israeli offensives, Hamas reportedly retains a force of 20,000 fighters and remains operationally strong across Gaza, continuing to challenge IDF advances on multiple fronts.

Trump issues a chilling final warning to protesters in Los Angeles. As chaos erupts over immigration raids and civil unrest, Trump vows to “liberate LA” and demands a 1-year prison sentence for anyone who burns the American flag.
Framing the protests as a breakdown of law and order, Trump declares the city "under siege" from within—linking rising unrest to uncontrolled migration and radical dissent. With military deployments underway and political temperatures soaring, the question remains:

In a shocking escalation of rhetoric, President Donald Trump has threatened to str!p U.S. citizenship and deport Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City Mayor. During a tour of the controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention center in Florida, Trump called Mamdani a “communist” and claimed, “we don’t need him in this country.”
Mamdani, a Ugandan-born Indian American and U.S. citizen since 2018, has fired back — refusing to be intimidated and calling Trump’s words “an attack on democracy.” This video breaks down the explosive exchange, the rising tensions in the 2025 mayoral race, and why this moment could redefine the political landscape of America’s biggest city.

During a fiery press conference in Florida, President Donald Trump threatened to arrest New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, labeling him as "anti-Israel" and claiming he may be in the U.S. illegally. The dramatic statement came just hours after Mamdani’s primary win was certified. Trump threw his support behind current Mayor Eric Adams, stating he had "helped him out a little bit" in the past. The president also criticized Mamdani’s plan to oppose ICE operations in NYC, warning, “If that happens, we’ll have to arrest him.”
This escalating clash between the White House and a local progressive politician could have national consequences.

Senate narrowly rejected an amendment to fund Planned Parenthood, with a 49–51 vote. Demonstrators rallied in cities like Anaheim, California, demanding Congress defund the program. Pro-life advocate Lila Rose urged mass support for ending Medicaid funding. Meanwhile, Sen. Patty Murray criticized the bill, which could block reimbursement for cancer screenings and other non-abortion services. A recent Supreme Court ruling has empowered states to cut off Medicaid to Planned Parenthood, potentially closing 200 clinics and affecting millions of low-income Americans.
