I'm really interested in your reasoning, specifically this part:

> It's almost like Europeans don't belong in the Middle East.

What is "European" in this case and where do they belong? Do we measure by skin tone, genetics or language? What about birth place?

Wherever and whoever you are, your ancestors have definitely killed to be there, which lead you to being here somewhere.

So, where do we send white people? Can we do the same for asians/christians/arabs/blacks/people with glasses? And most important, what do we do with mixed heritage people? How pure must the blood be to consider them of some certain "race"?

Europeans are people, then and now, whose families have lived in European lands for hundreds of years, but believe they have the biblical right to "return" to a land they have no connection to and "settle on" (steal) the land and houses of Palestinians whose families have lived in those lands for almost a thousand years. This is common sense, and you know full well you would never entertain such a claim from a holy book of any other religion. No amount of semantic games and moving the goalposts changes this fact, or the fact that most "returning" Israelis were European Jews who changed their names to conceal that fact.
