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

More than 600 Google employees have signed a petition calling on the tech giant to end its involvement with a prestigious Israeli tech conference, citing concerns over human rights violations in Palestine.

The petition, addressed to Google CEO Sundar Pichai and other top executives, highlights the company’s partnership with the Cybertech conference in Tel Aviv, an event that brings together leading tech companies, startups, and government officials from around the world.

The employees argue that Google’s participation in the conference sends the wrong message and legitimizes the Israeli government’s actions in the occupied Palestinian territories. They are calling on the company to cut ties with the event and take a stand against human rights abuses.

Google has not yet responded to the petition, but the growing number of signatures indicates that there is significant internal pressure for the company to re-evaluate its relationship with the conference.
