My workplace has become very tense as most of us are pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist, but our CEO and investors are very aggressively Zionist. Internally we debate if we should quit, or stay and "fight" the best we can. I think in general there's the sense that we shouldn't let the Zionists chase us out of our jobs, especially when most people don't support their cause.

On a personal level, I boycott all Israeli products and companies, including companies that do business with Israel (to the best of my ability, I still need an alternative to NVIDIA).

You touched on the key tension here

The VC community, weighted by AUM is profoundly Zionist.

I worked at one of the most prominent funds and 4 of my coworkers (American) literally relocated to Israel for ideological reasons

You can't bite the hand that feeds even if it's morally right.
