israeli is NEAR eastern. India is FAR eastern.

MIDDLE eastern would be at the most western: Iraq (and this stretches it) and at the most eastern: kazakstan.

Goodness...I rather recently had an argument similar to this with my best friend's room-mate while I was in DC.

I said something about Israel being in Africa, and she said, "No, it isn't."

So, what, then? It's in Asia? Europe? Australia?

Perhaps we would be more correct to say the conflict in the "Near East?" It just doesn't ring, sorry... :D

in terms of continents, israel is in asia. near east and middle east are pretty much the same thing geographically, but near east is usually used in a historical context. so on the news you'll hear middle east, but an archaeologist would probably call it the near east.
