Um, the whole article is about the disputed and possibly ambiguous
nature of New anti-Semitism. It could hardly illustrate the concept
better, as has been explained multiple times by multiple editors.

No, the continual attempts to suppress or reframe this powerful and
illustrative image, without any backing in policy, is what does a
disservice to Wikipedia.

What do you mean by "New anti-Semitism"? A new kind of Anti-Semitism?
Modern anti-Semitism? Or an attempt to reframe criticism of Israel as
anti-Semitism? Because arguments are made for all these definitions.

Oh, wait, the picture perfectly illustrates that.

Sorry, again, could you cite the specific words of NPOV that apply to
this image?

Of course not. Because your objection has nothing to do with *actual* policy.
