Should Italians and Greeks also receive beneficial treatment due to their contributions as well. After all much of our art, science, and government is derived from Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, and the Italian renaissance?

What about the Chinese and Indians. Who between them invented, among other thing, radio, the numeric system, the compass and gun power. Should they get special treatment as well?

Your supposition for ethnic groups being deserving of special treatment is, quite frankly, based on a personal perceived view of fairness that does not exist in the real world.

Modern Greeks have no descendancy from anc Greeks & modern Italians,especially in the South are so heavily mixed that they cannot claim descendancy fro Romans either...

As for ancient history,a nation deserves credit for its actions today...

The Jews are a locomotive in today's business,culture,politics...
So,they deserve a special treatment...
