Pro-Palestine demonstrators are speaking out after Google fired 28 employees for protesting at their offices in Sunnyvale, Seattle, and New York on Tuesday.
In Sunnyvale, five people were arrested during the demonstrations. Emaan Haseem is one of the 28 people who were terminated. She’s a software engineer who flew in from Seattle to Sunnyvale to participate in the sit-in. She said she went outside when she was asked to leave, and she was not one of the five people arrested. She knew she was risking her job, but she says she doesn’t regret it. "There was absolutely no way that I could continue working at Google without pushing these demands.
"Another part of the memo said, "If you’re one of the few who are tempted to think we’re going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again. The company takes this extremely seriously, and we will continue to apply our longstanding policies to take action against disruptive behavior – up to and including termination.
