Google has fired another 20 employees for their involvement in protests over its dealings with Israel.  The tech giant has a cloud computing contract with the Israeli military, and pro-Palestinian workers have been staging sit-ins and other forms of protest.

 This brings the total number of employees fired over the matter to fifty. 

On April 16, Google’s Sunnyvale, California, and New York City office workers held sit-ins.  The company says the workers disrupted operations and damaged company property. 

A spokesperson for the protesters says some of those fired were bystanders who were not directly participating in the sit-ins.
