Alas, I don't know Ladino, or I'd add a post-script punchline: "And what are the Sephardi, chopped liver?"

I actually added a postscript in Ladino saying essentially the same thing, but it was cut for not being in English.
Maybe there should be a distinction between comedically belligerent bickering and calmer debates? Just because "Jews love to argue" doesn't mean it's always in the form of sniping.
I couldn't care less if Jews really do control the media in order to take over the world(pro tip: they're not), I think they're hilarious. But maybe I just think that because I adore the Daily Show.

Why does it say The Talmud redirects here? It, um... doesn't.

...oh, I see. The YMMV page redirects here. Um... anyone think that should be changed? There are a couple orange-dot entries on the main page...

I liked the analogy to Passover and matza, it's very appropriate and I'm not sure whether it's by coincidence or knowledge on the author's part:
Matza, in addition to the well known meaning (unleavened bread) also means (albeit in archaic, biblical Hebrew) dispute, quarrel, strife. Pretty neat, huh?
- As an aside, from the word 'matza' we also derive a word that is actually used in modern Hebrew - 'Nitizm', which means people involved in an argument/fight. I know it's hard for non-Hebrew speakers (and even for some speakers in fact!) to see how the two relate, but trust me on this one.
That was a coincidence. I didn't even know what the bread was called when I proposed this trope on ykttw.
Plus I believe the words relate, as I'm a casual student of etymology.
Edited by DragonQuestZ I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

Um... that's not what the word "zona" means.
