Although one could say Jesus is the greater isreal, greater john the baptist, greater fillintheblank.

I see the connection.

In this case it is the Lord Jesus who is allegorizing Jonah, and there are definite limits to that allegory. Even though the Lord said he was a "greater Jonah," that only refers to his time spent in the heart of the earth, and we should not allegorize that Jesus was crucified "running away from Jehovah" as Jonah had done.
