I see so the article's title is "new anti-Semitism" and of course one would expect to glance over and see an image demonstrative of such a concept but no they see an image that a few Wikipedia editors are saying (without a citation that is) is demonstrative of "new anti-Semitism" when no source can be shown stating as such? Like I said even the photo's source labels it as mere "anti-Semitism". I haven't argued for the image's removal as other have (although I'm becoming convinced of their arguments) all that I've required is that the image's source "Zombie" from "Zombietime.com" be cited as saying that the image was demonstrative of anti-Semitism. That is normal when bias is ambiguous in articles. I've shown you how WP:NOR states that NPOV applies to images and I've shown you the section of what NPOV says about attribution of biased content. Now a good number of editors are agreeing with my concerns as the talk page and edit history show.

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?
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.
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.
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.
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".
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.
If the image stays then editros should at least ensure that the image's caption is in accord with NPOV
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.
