Cuz words like that are usually used for countries, while "israel" is just a western colony in Palestine.

I mean, Jewish people originally heralded from around the eastern Mediterranean, middle east? That would make them historically middle eastern rather than western. Or are we strictly talking about western powers giving the Jewish people a 'homeland' after the second world war and the holocaust?
