A disturbing incident unfolded involving Danielle Gordon, a Denver-based Series 7 licensed specialist with Fidelity, who sent a hostile message on X targeting a Jewish mother. The message read, “F*ck you and your kid who goes to Nazi summer camp! Free Palestine from you sick f*cks!” The child in question attends a Jewish sleep-away camp. This outburst has raised serious concerns, especially given her professional profile on LinkedIn, where she claims dedication to working in “inclusive, respectful, and ethical places.”
The incident highlights a jarring disconnect between Gordon’s professional persona and her online behavior. As a financial specialist with Fidelity, a major investment firm, she interacts with clients and colleagues who may include Jewish individuals or families.
The antisemitic nature of her comment, equating a Jewish summer camp with Nazism, could erode trust among coworkers or clients who value the inclusivity she professes.
But, to be honest, even if she worked in a toll booth or worked 100% from home and never interacted with anyone, her comments are disgraceful. I miss the days when these incidents would cause an uproar. Now, they are so common, we barely blink before another antisemitic incident smashes us in the face. In fact, it happens so often, we aren't even all that shocked anymore. We have come to accept that it's so common, it's now the new normal.
This is particularly concerning amid rising global antisemitism. Hopefully Fidelity will investigate her unacceptable comment, given the potential reputational and legal risks under U.S. anti-discrimination laws.
