I don't think I know anyone who would consider an "Israeli-American" to be white, or even any whiter than "Lebanese-American", and I'm solidly Midwestern.
I kind of want to send out a bunch of messages to people asking if they consider one "white" or "whiter" than the other...
I know plenty of people who will give Israel carte Blanche simply because it "needs to exist for Jesus to come back" though, so answers wouod be skewed I imagine.
Sorry I didn't really answer your question, I'm interested to hear other people's takes as well.
I think if you don't know anyone that thinks Israelis are predominantly white that's more on you than anything else.
