  Cool infographic. Most of the little boxes seem to describe the conflicts in a way to make them seem sad and trivial. I'm fine with this, except it made one little box really stand out as extremely funny: Hummus: Should hummus be in the "Israeli Cuisine" category, or is it a purely Arab food the Zionists have illegally occupied?

    Funniest box in that graphic: Arachnophobia: Appropriate to include a huge picture of a tarantula on a page about fear of spiders?

      That is not funny, that should be a no-brainer "no" decision. Arachnophobia is not something to laugh about. You would not put an epilepsy-triggering image on an encyclopedic website either.

        Even if the decision should be "no", that doesn't make that comment unfunny.

          Yes - an unfunny comment would have been "Arachnophobia: It is inappropriate to include a huge picture of a tarantula on a page about fear of spiders." The phrasing, minor as the changes are, is what makes it humorous.
