NO TECH FOR APARTHEID
"The Israeli assault on Gaza has sparked conflict at companies throughout the world. At Google, a company that has often tried to foster a public reputation of openness, the war seems to have sparked a growing number of staff to protest or quit.
Time magazine reports that the protest group No Tech For Apartheid, which lobbies against Google’s involvement with the Israeli government, now includes at least 40 Google employees."
