Google fires 28 employees involved in ‘Googlers against Genocide’ sit-in at New York, Sunnyvale offices [Video]

Google has fired dozens of employees involved in anti-Israel protests that took over the corporate offices in New York and Sunnyvale, California.

In a memo to employees, Google Vice President of Global Security Chris Rackow announced that 28 staffers who participated in a 10-hour sit-in at the company’s offices, including the personal office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian, were terminated Wednesday after an internal investigation.

The memo was first reported by the New York Post.
