A group of graduates walked out of Stanford University’s commencement ceremony Sunday moments after Google CEO Sundar Pichai began delivering his keynote address.
Videos circulating on social media showed more than 100 students leaving their seats at Stanford Stadium while chanting, “Free, free Palestine.”
The protest was organized by far left radical groups including Students for Justice in Palestine and No Tech for Apartheid.
Students for Justice in Palestine calls for ”death to all collaborates”, which grotesquely mimics Hamas’ justification for executing Palestinian collaborators.
They have previously posted images mourning the death of influencers in Gaza who have openly celebrated the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
Pichai, a Stanford alumnus who earned a master’s degree in materials science and engineering from the university in 1995, had been selected earlier this year as the keynote speaker for Stanford’s 135th commencement ceremony held on June 14.
The protest is the latest chapter in a yearslong controversy surrounding Google’s involvement in Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion cloud computing contract jointly held with Amazon to provide cloud and artificial intelligence services to the Israeli government.
Critics, including some employees and pro-Palestinian activists, argue the technology could be used by Israel’s military and security agencies in ways that harm Palestinians.
Google has maintained that the contract is for government cloud services and has repeatedly defended its work.

The A.I. fears are uniting populists progressives and leftists, and there plenty of populists who used to call themselves Republicans.
If I was him, I’d say to those that are leaving, “Good! Now I know who not to hire!”............

Google pays some of the best wages for tech jobs. These kids just ruined their careers as their faces are now all over the web, and google and other bit tech companies uses facial recognition. Too bad so sad for them.
