A Google reverse image search for "Jew-bwa-ha-ha.gif," as the file is most frequently, but not always, named, returns 1,210 matches. What is most significant about this image isn't the thing itself - there is far more creative, and far more disturbing, anti-Jewish imagery out there - but its sheer ubiquity. All of the tropes established by centuries of anti-Semitic iconography in Europe are here: the grotesquely hooked nose, the scheming hands, the evil smile, the wild beard, the misshapen spine, the bulging eyes. Obviously, it's a derogatory caricature of a Jew, and a fairly rote one at that.
