middle-easterners?
That's a queer term. Until the start of the 20th centruy, the lands of Egypt, Arabia, Anatolia, Iraq would have been called the Near East with the Middle East being Persia and India and hte Far East being China and Japan. The Near West would have been Central & Eastern Europe and the Far West, Western Europe
