Danielle Gordon thought she was untouchable. She had a cushy gig at Fidelity Investments, a normal life in Denver, and nothing to lose. Then she spat venom at a Jewish mom online. Now her name is now radioactive.
“F*** you and f*** your kid who goes to Nazi summer camp!” Gordon blasted at journalist Bethany Mandel, before sneering, “Free Palestine from you sick f***s!” She wasn’t hiding behind anonymity either, she signed her own name to it.
What sparked the bile? Mandel posted about a paraglider over her children’s summer camp, a terrifying echo of Hamas’s October 7 terror raids when paragliders delivered death onto Israeli civilians. To Jewish parents, it was a warning sign. To Gordon, it was an excuse to vomit raw anti-Jew hate in public.
Mandel didn’t cower. She screenshotted the filth, posted it, and within hours it exploded — millions of people saw Gordon for what she was. A face of everyday anti-Jewism. Not from a Nazi skinhead or a street thug, but from a middle-class woman with a corporate job and a college degree.
By the next day, Fidelity slammed the door. Fired. Finished. Blacklisted. StopAntisemitism confirmed it, praising the company for acting “swiftly and decisively.” For once, a corporation showed some spine.
But Danielle Gordon is no outlier. This is America now soaked in anti-Jew hate. A Florida State student shoved a Jewish classmate at the gym and shouted, “F*** Israel, Free Palestine.” In Los Angeles, swastikas and “F*** Jews” graffiti smeared the walls of a Jewish community HQ. In Washington, DC, a gunman murdered two Israelis, screaming “Free Palestine” as police dragged him away. In San Francisco, a mob beat a Jew unconscious in the street while chanting “F*** the Jews.”
The stats are staggering. Jews make up just 2 percent of the U.S. population, yet FBI numbers show nearly 70 percent of all religion-based hate crimes target them. That’s not random. That’s anti-Jewism unleashed.
Danielle Gordon wasn’t some fringe lunatic hiding in the shadows. She was the woman next door, the coworker on the phone line, the smiling “normal” neighbor. And she didn’t hesitate to tell a Jewish mother that her kids deserved hate.
Now she’s jobless, disgraced, and forever branded by her own words. She thought she was striking a blow for “justice.” Instead, she became the poster child for just how rotten, how normalized, and how dangerous anti-Jewism has become in America.
