During a presentation by an executive with Google’s Israel branch on Monday, a Google Cloud engineer stood up and shouted, “I refuse to build technology that powers genocide or surveillance.” They were later fired.

I doubt it. Engineers don’t get to yell at executives at meetings.
Please don’t disturb the overlords while they distribute kool-aid and tell you how good the kool-aid is good for you.
Do you think you could get away with something like that at your job?
Could I get away? It’s a gamble I guess. But I’ve raised my voice at meetings more than once in my life and never lost my job over it.
To be fair, I’ve never worked in a big company like google, so they can replace you yesterday.
But if you are at that point, you are ready to lose/switch jobs.
