Found these at my mother's house from my Israel Yeshiva days. If everything I plan to bring w/ a plug says 100-240V, then I should need the big converter right, just the little white guy?

Correct. 100-240 just needs the little plug.

Just read that these don't work in Italy, Switzerland or the UK. Is that true?

Thanks, I'll make sure to get a UK one as well.

Any idea about Swiss? From Google images, it looks like 3 prongs of the European shape, but perhaps the 3rd is just for grounding and it will still work with just a 2 prong one?

2 prong should work just fine.

I'll only have rental cars in GIB and Italy. Either way, I just bought one for a couple of bucks.
