No one's responded to me about why NPOV shouldn't be followed in adding to the caption the quote from the image's source (Zombie of Zombietime.com) "Zombie of Zombietime.com describes this poster as, "the most anti-Semitic sign ever seen at any protest rally in the United States." I've just been presented with straw man arguments. I've got no problem with the image but what I do have a problem with is when an image is presented outside of neutral point of view.
What I have a problem with is people turning up at articles they've made no contribution to, in an area they've done no research, making an image invisible, adding an OR tag, wikilawyering about policies, violating 3RR, starting a thread on AN/I, starting various threads on people's talk pages, and now starting another one on wikiEN-l.
The photograph perfectly reflects the debate about new anti-Semitism. Some people look at it and instantly see a highly anti-Semitic image. Others see an anti-Zionist one. Others again see the latter but believe there's sometimes not a big difference between the two. So it is with new anti-Semitism, as the article describes. The cutline doesn't need commentary from someone who has done no research into the subject and who seems to be out to cause trouble only.
