But you are of course clever and understand that the
picture's source is
Qdubiously POV and therefore cant be NPOV to use! Particularly upfront. Hence
you seem to be using CITE as a tool for exclusion, which is the essence of
the citenazi argument!

Nah, the whole point of NPOV is that we can include POV content by
making it neutral by putting it in the right context.
So we don't say "AIDS is gods punishment for gays" we say "Jerry
Fallwell has stated that AIDS is gods punishment for gays [1]". We
avoid making the judgement call, and we use text that people from many
different perspectives can agree is true.
By putting the image on [[New anti-Semitism]] we are implicitly making
the claim that the subject of the photo is an example of New
anti-Semitism. To do so is original research and is rejected by
several generally reasonable folks. Instead we can say "source X
argues this is an example of.." and everyone sane can agree that it's
true (although we might not agree that it's good editorial judgement
to use that image at the top).
