I don't see anyone boycotting github, cisco, dropbox, figma and many other companies that where/are founded by sequoia and to this day do fishy stuff and have questionable people on their seats. But sure, let's boycott the open source startup that wants to pay their devs for writing code but let's keep hosting our code on github owned by microsoft which provides Israel with compute power for mass surveillance, that makes total sense.

Regardless of your political stance, how is taking money from a VC company that has a single person that said a single thing you disagree with “supporting genocide”? And how is uninstalling a text editor going to help literally anyone?

This is 100% pure virtue signaling. This brigading is not helping a single Palestinian. These people just want to feel and show the world that they are “the good guys”, while not actually doing anything or helping anyone. To me, that is absolutely a joke.

There is no indication that zed supports this genocide (accepting money from an entity who might != Supporting)

This is far fetched and that's why it cannot be taken seriously.
