Over 600 Google Workers Urge the Company to Cut Ties With Israeli Tech Conference

Over 600 Google employees have signed a petition urging the company to sever its ties with an upcoming Israeli tech conference, citing concerns over human rights violations in the region.

The employees are calling on Google to withdraw its support for the conference, which is scheduled to take place in Tel Aviv later this year. They argue that by participating in the event, Google is effectively endorsing the actions of the Israeli government, which they claim has a history of human rights abuses against Palestinians.

Google has not yet responded to the petition, but the employees are hopeful that the company will take their concerns into consideration and choose to withdraw from the conference.
