		</div><p>Google has fired 28 employees involved in protests over the tech company’s cloud computing contract with the Israeli government, according to statements from the company and campaigners.</p>
<p>The workers held sit-ins at the company’s offices in California and New York over Google’s $1.2 billion contract to provide custom tools for Israeli’s military.</p>
<p>They were fired on Wednesday evening after police earlier arrested nine people.</p>
<p>Google said “a small number of employee protesters entered and disrupted a few of our locations.”</p>
<p>“After refusing multiple requests to leave the premises, law enforcement was engaged to remove them to ensure office safety,” Google said.</p>
<p>The company said it carried out “individual investigations that resulted in the termination of employment for 28 employees, and will continue to investigate and take action as needed.”</p>
<p>The group behind the protests, No Tech for Apartheid, disputed Google’s version of events, saying the company fired people who didn’t directly participate.</p>
<p>The company’s claim that the protests were part of a longstanding campaign by groups and “people who largely don’t work at Google” was untrue, the group said.</p>
<p>The group posted photos and videos on social media showing workers in Google offices holding placards and sitting on the floor, chanting slogans.</p>
