Geographically, Israel is in Asia thus they are Asian or Middle Easteners.

But culturally and politically, they are more affiliated with Europe than with Asia. The majority of The Jews who have moved to Israel once the state was declared are from Europe. Because of political reasons, Israel does not join The Asian games but do join The European League.
