Google has fired at least 20 more of its employees for protesting the technology its giving to Israel as the war in Gaza rages on.

This comes after Google fired approximately 30 employees last week after they were arrested for staging sits-ins at the company's offices in Sunnyvale, California and New York City, bringing the total number terminated to around 50.

Google said it fired the additional employees because after an internal investigation, the company identified other staffers who used masks and didn't carry their badges to hide their identities.

No Tech For Apartheid, an organization critical of Google and Amazon's contract with Israel that the fired employees are thought to be associated with, released a statement following the latest terminations.

'Google's aims are clear: the corporation is attempting to quash dissent, silence its workers, and reassert its power over them,' organization spokesperson Jane Chung said in a press release. 'In its attempts to do so, Google has decided to unceremoniously, and without due process, upend the livelihoods of over 50 of its own workers.'....

"reassert its power over them (workers)"

Well, yeah. That's kind of what bosses do.

It's a travesty that people like her, that are so f'ing ignorant, get paid handsomely to spew that garbage. I wish I could teleport her back to that festival in Israel on 10/7. They should have to live in the moment and experience what she calls lies.
