AI engineer says Google unfairly sacked him after he protested against work for Israel

A Google AI engineer claims he got fired for handing out leaflets protesting the company's AI work for the Israeli government, and is now taking Google to an employment tribunal. Nothing says 'don't be evil' quite like sacking the guy who questions which governments your AI is serving. Another day, another tech giant proving that ethical concerns are welcome right up until they become inconvenient.
