Police Arrest Google Employees Who Staged Anti-Israel Office Protests

Police arrested several Google employees who staged sit-in protests on Tuesday to oppose the company’s ties to Israel.

Protesters occupied offices in New York, California, and Washington to demand that the company cancel Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion contract with Israel. The cloud-computing project is shared by Amazon. Google employees started an internal “No Tech for Apartheid” group with over 200 members, which has been active since October, to protest the venture — employees also staged a “die-in” outside of a Google building in San Francisco in December.
