October 2022
In response to a recent surge of hateful rhetoric and hostile actions toward the Jewish community, Douglas Elliman has issued a call to action against the persistent threat of antisemitism.
“Douglas Elliman firmly denounces antisemitism and stands with the Jewish community, including our families, friends, colleagues and clients,” the brokerage stated in a social media post that urged followers to consider donating to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum .
The uptick in incidents of antisemitism has followed recent anti-Jewish remarks made by Ye, the musician and designer formerly known as Kanye West, which have been echoed by neo-Nazi and white supremacist activists . Several business associates of Ye subsequently cut ties with the artist, including the talent agency CAA, fashion house Balenciaga and German sportswear brand Adidas, which announced Oct. 25 that it would “end production of Yeezy branded products and stop all payments to Ye and his companies” after a public pressure campaign spearheaded by ADL .
“This is a very positive outcome,” said ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. “It illustrates that antisemitism is unacceptable and creates consequences. Without a doubt, Adidas has done the right thing by cutting ties with Ye after his vicious antisemitic rants.”
