The workers, organized under the banner of No Tech For Apartheid, claim that Google's involvement in Project Nimbus is contributing to what they describe as an "AI-powered genocide" in Gaza. The recent resignation of two Google workers, Eddie Hatfield and Vidana Abdel Khalek, has brought attention to Google's ties to the Israeli military.
