Quick Glance: Google dismisses workers following protests on technology deal with Israeli government

Following protests regarding the technology supplied to the Israeli government, Google has terminated employees, heightening tensions around a sensitive contract.

The confirmed dismissals by Google on Wednesday occurred after nine individuals were detained during sit-in demonstrations in New York and Sunnyvale, California, a day subsequent to police intervention.

Demonstrations are predominantly coordinated by a faction known as No Tech For Apartheid. Google states that Nimbus is not utilized for weaponry or intelligence purposes.

Stated in a blog post, Google's CEO Sundar Pichai implied a close supervision of employees as the company enhances efforts in advancing its AI technology, marking a crucial phase in the industry and potentially humanity.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Quick Glance: Trump Mixes Up Jimmy Kimmel and Al Pacino in Rant

Former President Donald Trump recently mixed up Jimmy Kimmel and actor Al Pacino in a bizarre rant on social media about Kimmel's hosting of the 2024 Academy Awards.

Trump claims Kimmel experienced a 'classic blackout' at the Oscars and forgot to say the famous mandatory line 'AND THE WINNER IS.'

Kimmel responded to Trump's mix-up with a humorous comment, referencing Trump's self-proclaimed status as a 'very stable genius' in 2018.

Trump's rant about Kimmel seems to be in response to his monologue on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' discussing Trump's declining wealth and hush money trial.

Quick Glance: Google Fires More Employees Following Israel Deal Protests

An activist group has reported that Google has terminated at least 20 more employees in response to protests over the technology supplied to the Israeli government amid the Gaza conflict, bringing the total number of dismissed employees to over 50.

This serves as another indication of internal unrest at the tech giant, revolving around 'Project Nimbus,' a $1.2 billion contract signed in 2021 for Google and Amazon to provide cloud computing and AI services to the Israeli government.

Last week, demonstrations were held by employees at Google offices in New York and Sunnyvale, California, resulting in the company contacting law enforcement, leading to subsequent arrests.

According to Google, the additional terminations were carried out after an investigation gathered information from colleagues who were 'physically disrupted,' and employees were identified who wore masks and did not carry their ID badges to conceal their identities. The company refuted the group's allegations, asserting that it meticulously verified that 'each individual whose employment was terminated was personally and conclusively involved in disruptive activities within our premises.'

McConnell criticized conservative commentator Tucker Carlson for playing a leading role in demonizing the idea of sending military aid to Ukraine.

Carlson's interview with Putin was widely criticized for not challenging Putin's dubious claims.

Putin dominated the interview, barely letting Carlson ask questions and later complained about the lack of tough questions.

Several Republicans expressed concerns about the infiltration of what they view as Russian 'propaganda' in conservative media and among their party's base.
