A group of protesters blocked the entrance of Google's developer conference in Mountain View, Calif. The demonstrators have condemned the tech giant's cloud computing contract with Israel's government.
Dozens of protesters blocked the entrance of Google's developer conference in Mountain View, Calif., for roughly 90 minutes on Tuesday, demanding that the tech giant drop its work with the Israeli government amid the country's war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The protest group, which accuses Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, held two events on Tuesday that it said involved hundreds of participants.
'We want to make sure that every single person who comes here and who might think that today's a day about celebrating technological advancements — every single one of those people needs to understand that the reality is much darker than what Google has painted,' Koren said. Organizers estimated that 50 people participated in the demonstration in front of the conference. The rally at the park drew a bigger crowd.
