They're involved in the organization and Cyprus is geographically situated in Asia paving the door for "Israel to join" that some individuals are proposing.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 4 points 6 days ago

In what way is the door paved?

[-] maam@feddit.uk 4 points 6 days ago

You know what I’m saying.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 4 points 6 days ago

No I don't, and I don't mean your mangled idiom but the intention behind it.

How does Cyprus or Australia being part of the EBU pave the road to Israel becoming a member of the EU?

[-] maam@feddit.uk 5 points 6 days ago

I'm talking about Cyprus being in the european union.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 3 points 6 days ago

No you were talking about Israel joining the EU?

[-] maam@feddit.uk 4 points 6 days ago

Not only that but French Guiana is in the union too. The EU's land isn't confined to Europe.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 2 points 6 days ago

Because French Guinana is part of France.

[-] maam@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago

Isn't that way further away then Israel is to the european union?

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

French Guinana is still France and last I checked the map it's pretty much in the hearthlands of the EU.

Heck if Greenland wasn't autonomous it would also be part of the EU because of Denmark.

[-] maam@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago

French Guiana isn’t located in continental europe, that’s what the debate is about.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

That doesn't matter. French Guiana is French Territory, that is what matters. And as such is part of the EU.

[-] maam@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago

It does since geography is arbitrarily used against countries people personally disagree with from joining the european union. One could argue that Quebec is part of France and should be in the european union if they didn't lose the 7 year war.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

Why then argue that Israel should join because it's closer to the EU than Cyprus and French Guinana, when geography shouldn't matter if a nation should join the EU?

And no Quebec belongs to Canada. Noone should argue about that.

[-] maam@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago

You’re putting words in my mouth, I’m saying Israel could join not should.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah you are right my bad.

[-] maam@feddit.uk 4 points 6 days ago

There was also talk of "Israel joining Nato"

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 2 points 6 days ago

Okay and that paves the road to Israel joining the EU how?
