There is no "Middle-Eastern" identity so far , so there would be no answer towards that. And I don't see why Israelis should try to find any brotherhood with people surrounding when these ones hate them just because of being jewish.

There are certainly people who are anti-semitic in the Middle East, but you are looking at things from a black & white angle. Israel has severely harmed and violated the rights of Palestinians & Lebanese people over the years, and that's why there is deep resentment towards the brutal actions of that state, not because of its Jewish identity.
