I think the OP meant to say the Jews of Israel (that is in Asia), not the Jews of argentina or europe or anywhere else, Israel is AFAIK a nation. In israel there is NO seperation between the state and religion.
As for the arabs, they kinda are amongst themselves... they are stuff that is strictly arab related like the arab league and all, Asia is way too big so people from the distant edges look different, have different customs, history, religions and etc.
I am an Israeli Jew but I am no an asian, infact I'm white. not all the people who live in asia have that 'cheinese' oriental look. Israel is more related to Europe, america and the west than the rest of asia, as it takes part in the eurovision, european soccer tournies and etc. While the arabs of the region have their own tournaments and obviously wouldn't count israel in... so it kinda leaves no choice but to look for friends in other places.
This has all become a bit confusing. I wasn't replying to the OP, but to a different question: "When people from the United States use the term America they certainly refer to the Unites States, not only ignoring the existence of Canada but even of the entire South American continent. Any explainations ready?" by Christian77.
sorry, i meant christian77, i saw the quote at your post so i thought it was yours lol
