Well I'm a Sephardi jew so there's a fair chance that's an accurate assessment if you go back far enough.
As far as quieter... I meant that literally. A lot of people I know refer to americans as loud and rude-by-ignorance, which makes sense someplace like finland... but having been to Israel many times and having family all around the mediterranean I usually see americans as sticking out in the middle east because compared to everyone else they're downright quiet and submissive.
The manners thing I'll grant wholeheartedly though, what passes for rude or not in america can be radically different than elsewhere. Hell just look at how america views eye contact versus a lot of the rest of the world.
