    Seems misleading, as I highly doubt they were charged with “protesting contract with Israel”. Is that a misdemeanor?

    Also love that Google workers suddenly grew a conscience

      It’s a trespassing charge from what I could find. Although there are laws against boycotting Israel

        The anti BDS laws are relevant to companies, not workers. Though it is still hilarious to me that we can’t have religious freedom because companies have a first amendment right however they can’t exercise that right in regards to Israel.

        The GOP is just so transparently making shit up as they go along for their own convenience.
