Technically incorrect, regarding Asia Minor. Asia Minor was/is just the Anatolian Peninsula. The rest would've been different things at different times, but "the Levant" is a pretty good catch-all.
Works for me! The Levantine peoples or the more Northern Anatolians all fit the bill better than Asians. Even the Silk Road walkers were more likely to be called Asian by todays standards.
Still an odd thing that some Israelis could want to be known as. An important set of geographies to be sure but the modern term of Asian really doesn't pick up until East of India.
