Because the image is misleading and it is completely biased. This is an encylcopedia - it has to be FAIR. So let's change the setting a little bit. If we had no photos of the twin towers collapsing on 9/11, should we put a picture up of the US in Afghanistan. To someone who was not fully aware about the conflict, they would assume that the conflict is about the Americans attacking Afghanistan. The pictures need to be as neutral and FAIR as possible. Because the average Joe does not read everything. And don't hold a double standard against Israel.
