> Are they really boycotting jews now?
Just because they're boycotting someone who happens to be Jewish doesn't necessarily mean they're boycotting them because of it.
> Zed just announced that they are taking money from Sequoia Capital, which has a partner, Shaun Maguire, who has recently been publicly and unapologetically Islamophobic. It seems hard to believe that the team didn't know about this, as it was covered in the New York Times. In addition, Maguire has been actively pro-occupation and genocide in Palestine for nearly 2 years.
> How can anyone feel like the Code of Conduct means anything at all, when Sequoia is an investor? I'm shocked and surprised at the Zed team for this - I expected much better.
Reads like it has more to do with what they said and done in the past which seems reasonable.
Sounds like the timer is on. Right when Zed started to be really good.
