One big problem, the Italians and Greeks are a nationality, Jews are not. The Italians and Greeks both founded nations and grew from those lands. The Jews never had a historical nation, no matter how many ARAB cities you care to toss out there.

They rest of the world went out of it's way to create a lot of states - Syria, Iraq, Iran, Quatar, Saudi Araibia, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait.

Those boundries were defined by the peoples who lived in those countries and ruling class who over saw the regions. The world did not pull those countries out of their asses the way they did with Israel. There was no royal family from Israel overseeing the region. Israel was a Zionist dream, one the UN felt was a good idea because of how badly the Jews got screwed over by the Germans.

Calling Israel a fictional country is ignoring thousands of years of archiological evedince.

No, its not. At no time did a country of Israel existed prior to 1948. Again, Judiasm is a religion. A religion practiced all over the world. That does not make an ancient cities any more Jewish than they do Christian, or Aramaic, or Syrian, or Mesopotamian.
