Why does this thread feature a disgusting anti-Semitic caricature when such a thing is completely unrelated?
Yes, yes, they are disgusting, aren't they?
Be they words OR images.
For years, they've been inserted into threads inappropriately, and I sincerely hope you point them all out with the same kind of vigor.
Why is Matthew Perry's death being used to preach about anti-Semitism? He wasn't a Jew, and he was not killed during a hate crime and/or terrorist act
Ah, I see. This was personal, not a objective understanding of concepts.
You think "preaching", "trying to persuade" is my goal?
I can't even persuade guests to close the front door securely behind them when they leave. Why would I have the slightest hope I could change anybody's mind about
anything?
Here's an analogy to clarify:
There's a traveler who knows only a little of the local language, can't make out much of the signage.
There are locals that want to mislead travelers and direct them to their own villages, so they cover the legitimate signs with their own.
Then there is me, who sees traveler after traveler after traveler misdirected to a place they don't realize is a set-up, and an ugly village, or a cliff edge.
And you,
@Symmachus, have just insinuated, I not only try to direct the travelers to MY village, I also try to make the bad guys turn over a new leaf?
No.
I hand the traveler a universally accepted-as-accurate map, let's say Triple A, with translations into their language, made by experts, not me, and then-- they're on their own.
But because of a private issue with you and I, you want to slap the maps out of their hands, aid the people luring them to their villages under false pretenses, and make sure they think I'm awful??

There's plenty of speculation out there that the Hollywood elite, Matthew Perry, is Jewish. But that misses the point entirely.
The grotesque words of an anti-semite caricature were introduced in this thread much earlier than my post.
You object to those words being translated into a universally understandable visual?
You object to
anyone having a map, and making an informed decision which way they go?
So when the bad guys erect signs that point:
"Disneyland, this way!",
and I add a sign below that advises:
"Danger, cliff edge ahead"
-that's a big old problem for you?
It just rubs you the wrong way?
I'm being disrespectful to the deceased Matthew Perry?
I'm certain that Matthew Perry and his family would approve of what I said.
What they
wouldn't approve of is silence when people's lives are at stake, in the service other people's hate.
That's the
entire impetus behind the anti-vaxxer movement.
Does that make it easier for you to understand how anti-semitism endangers
everyone?
Matthew Perry knew all of this, that's why he tried to counter it.
Give your
respect to his efforts and him, not your "empathy".
Give that to the living, not the dead.
Eta: Did it ever occur to anyone that other members might have found it distressing over the years when they got ambushed with a anti-semitic trope?
So much concern about
your discomfort when I remark on their existence here, but zero concern that they
do exist here, or how
others might feel seeing them?
Why aren't they speaking now? They've been driven away, duh.
You all wonder where "beloved" members are who disappear, but never
why they disappear.
Maybe they saw things, daily, that made them feel not-to-loved?
Maybe they got exhausted by it? ?
Maybe they saw your silence?
Maybe they saw the eye rolls and personal attacks whenever anyone spoke up?
After the recent overwhelming success and popularity of The Ethnic Backgrounds of the Cast of LOST, I decided I am among the thousands who are also intrigued by the vast different background…
