Here's What Happened When Google Employees Staged an Anti-Israel Protest in Their Boss' Office

It wasn’t a massive uprising, but it did lead to police storming into the space and arresting all involved. Some Google employees in California and New York decided to stage an anti-Israel protest in their offices, demanding the tech company sever ties with the Jewish state. Their antics disrupted the workplace of the normal employees who were there to do their jobs. It’s not the first time a Google employee has voiced anti-Israel sentiments. That person was later fired. The same thing should happen to these clowns (via WaPo):

Several Google employees were arrested Tuesday evening at the company’s offices in New York City and Sunnyvale, Calif., after staging sit-ins to protest the tech giant’s work with the Israeli government, escalating the conflict inside tech companies over the war in Gaza and whether U.S. companies should sell their technology to Israel.
Nine employees were arrested across both offices, according to Jane Chung, a spokesperson for the protesters. A video taken by one of the protesters and shared with The Washington Post shows New York Police Department officers walk into the Google office and calmly tell protesters that they will be arrested if they don’t leave. When the workers refuse, the police ask them to turn around and put their hands behind their backs.
“Physically impeding other employees’ work and preventing them from accessing our facilities is a clear violation of our policies, and we will investigate and take action,” said Bailey Tomson, a Google spokesperson. “These employees were put on administrative leave, and their access to our systems was cut. After refusing multiple requests to leave the premises, law enforcement was engaged to remove them to ensure office safety.”
Protesters entered the offices in New York and California around 2 p.m. Eastern time, vowing to stay there until the company met their demand that Google pull out of a $1.2 billion contract it shares with Amazon to provide cloud services and data centers to the Israeli government. Other protesters rallied outside the company’s offices in New York, Sunnyvale and Seattle.

In early March, Google fired a worker who stood up and protested during a speech by Google’s top executive in Israel at a conference in New York. Zelda Montes, a software engineer at Google-owned YouTube who was one of the workers participating in the sit-in, acknowledged in an interview before the protest that they may be fired, too.

BJ - Reportedly overheard in corporate office - How do these idiot employees think that we can properly propagandize and control the narrative with this shit going on?
