I can also attest to this. I also thought it would be difficult to get a visa and sent in all my indian passports to prove I had not been to Israel. They seemed to laugh at it. Getting a visa on my US passport was a breeze.Another note for using your Italian passport, if the address on it says USA then you might not get a visa in Italy. Heard that they are stubborn on giving a visa in the country you reside.
Be careful on what post you use to send it there as I sent it by Certified and the postman reached after 3PM and left a note. They don't pick anything from the post office, so I had to arrange for the post office to redeliver it.
Can someone confirm a personal experience of getting a visa on a US passport at the Lebanon-Syria land border?
