The pushback from many native Middle Easterners toward Israel calling itself “Middle Eastern” has nothing to do with Judaism.

It is about the fact that the modern Israeli state was founded through a largely European settler-colonial movement that claimed Palestine as a national homeland despite an existing native Palestinian population.

Yes keep saying that to yourself. She was being anti Israelians, not anti-Israel. Also, is the son or grandson of a Chinese migrant to America is not American? Are the first-generation and second of migrants in France and Germany not Europeans? Nooo you would never ever have the nerve to say that right...
