Would you say that arab muslims are more M.E. culturally and ethnically than say the Jews who can trace their lineage back 4,000 years when they struggle to trace their residency of Palestine back 3 or 4 generations.
Of course Arabians are more Middle Eastern than European Jews. The Arabian Peninsula is part of the Middle East. Arab is a linguistic and cultural term for local people that adopted the Arabic language and the Arabic culture. "Arabs" from North Africa are not Middle Eastern at all. "Arabs" of the Middle East are, of course Middle Eastern but not very Arabian. The desert where the Arabians come from did not support a large population, so the Arabians were leaders and the officer corps of armies made up of local converts.
And of course, European Jews are no more "Middle Eastern" than other Europeans, particularly Mediterranean Europeans.
"Ashkenazi Jews Are Genetically European"
Surprise Ashkenazi Jews Are Genetically European
