TL;DR;
After opposing a project designed to help Israeli army, Google tries to relocate the pro-Palestinian protester to Brazil. The protester (an ethnic Jew) quits, claiming retaliation.
The interesting part, not mentioned in the article is that Google may be forced to shut the employee up - most states have laws penalizing companies that support the BDS movement (Boycott, Divest, Sanctions). Basically, if your company suggests to boycott Israel - it can kiss the government money goodbye.
