Over 100 students walk out during Sundar Pichai's Stanford keynote, chanting 'Free, free Palestine'

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, delivered a keynote address at Stanford University. During the speech, a group of students staged a walkout. More than 100 participants left the auditorium in protest. The demonstrators chanted “Free, free Palestine” as they exited. The protest highlighted ongoing campus tensions over the Israel‑Palestine conflict. Organizers said the walkout was meant to draw attention to Palestinian rights. Stanford officials noted the disruption but did not intervene in the chant. The incident underscores how tech leaders can become focal points for political activism.
