The article contains points of view

I am personally adamantly opposed to racism or antisemitism of any kind.

However, characterizing this painting as antisemitic violates the no-P.O.V. policy at the foundation of Wikipedia.

One sentence begins as follows:

"Due to the antisemitic nature of this painting ..."

which presumes that the painting is antisemitic, although that can only be a matter of opinion.

It is of course entirely fine (and not any violation of no-P.O.V. rules) if the controversy over the painting's perceived antisemitism is described without making any assumptions about the correctness of the perceptions.
