Did Google's $1.2 Billion Deal With Israel Just Ruin Sundar Pichai's Stanford Moment?

Summary

Around two hundred students at Stanford University staged a walkout during the graduation ceremony while Google CEO Sundar Pichai was delivering his commencement address, protesting Google's contracts with the Israeli Defence Forces and a one point two billion dollar cloud computing contract with the Israeli government. The protest, which included students waving Palestinian flags and chanting slogans, was organized by Students for Justice in Palestine and No Tech for Apartheid. Pichai continued his speech despite the disruption, which was a significant moment during the ceremony.
