Stanford graduates stage pro-Palestine walkout at Google CEO speech
More than 100 students staged a walkout during Stanford University's graduation ceremony when Google CEO Sundar Pichai began delivering the commencement address. The protest, organized by Students for Justice in Palestine and No Tech for Apartheid, involved chanting 'Free, free Palestine' and drew attention to Google's role in Project Nimbus, a joint venture with Amazon Web Services to provide cloud computing services to the Israeli government. The walkout occurred amid ongoing activism related to the war in Gaza. Neither Stanford nor Google have commented. The ceremony continued after the protest.
