No one is fretting about the cutlines on any of the other images on
that page, which also don't say who's claiming they are or aren't
examples of anti-Semitism. Dozens of other images are used on
Wikipedia in the same way.

This image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ColoredDrinking.jpg
used in [[Racism]] doesn't have a cutline saying "this is regarded as
an example of racism by X."  This image,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Races_and_skulls.png used as an
example of scientific racism, doesn't say "according to X." This image
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:1900sc_Postcard-Watermelon_04.jpg
is called a "racist postcard"; we don't say "according to X." This
image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:OctopusNAS1.jpg is labeled
anti-Semitic without saying who says so. Must this image
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:LeedsUniversityNAS.jpg now have a
cutline saying "anti-Semitic according to the Community Security
Trust"? Does this image
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Yankee_go_home_Liverpool.jpg  used
to illustrate anti-Americanism, have to say it's anti-American only
according to X? This
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bomb_iran_thong.jpg is used to
illustrate anti-Iranianism without attribution. This
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tokio_Kid_Say.gif is used to show
anti-Japanese sentiment, with no attribution, as is this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Poster_Japan_flag_stabbed.jpg

Some others, all making a stated or implied claim, with no attribution:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Hands_of_victory.JPG alleged to
show anti-Persianism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Golliwogg2.jpg  for Afrophobia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Francisco_de_Goya_y_Lucientes_023.jpg
 Francophobia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Antiruss.jpg Russophobia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Merridien_Web.png  ditto
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:YellowTerror.jpg  Sinophobia

And there are many more. So the question is, of all these images
allegedly depicting prejudices of various kinds, why is this one image
being singled out for different treatment?
