Always nice to see a demonstration of the assumption of good faith there Jayjg. What's an ambigous image doing as the lead image for [[new anti-Semitism]] anyways? Wikipedia's doing a disservice to it's readers when doing this, particularly when the caption of the image doesn't spell out what it's source is saying about it. As others have expressed with an image like that as the lead Wikipedia is expressing the POV that it is an example of "new anti-Semitism". If the image stays then editros should at least ensure that the image's caption is in accord with NPOV and cite the source as it being an example of anti-semitism (the source doesn't even say "new anti-Semitism... just anti-Semitism see: http://www.zombietime.com/sf_rally_february_16_2003/ ). Sounding more and more like original research to include it on the new anti-Semitism article isn't it?

However, that was, of course, not the argument made. Rather the argument was the exact opposite.
Now there are quite a few editors agreeing with what I was saying about
NPOV
and the lead image as the article's edit history shows (even two editors going so far as to outright remove the image from the article).
Yes, many people find the picture disturbing, as you did, and will try to think of almost any imaginable rationale to make it disappear somehow (again, as you did). Of course, like you, the people actually removing it can't actually quote any policy that would require its removal. But it's a very powerful image, and people just *know* they have to get rid of it somehow.
