Default Turkey. Was: Irish independence?

Israel has a football/soccer team in the European Cup this year.

Actually each time, and also in basketball. The reason is obvious, and it
has nothing to do with the geographical location.

BTW, there were voices that proposed that Israel should candidate for the
EU admission.

As one can see also from other comments, the geographical location is not
very relevant. For example "...Grønland is a self-governing Danish province
.... Though geographically and ethnically an Arctic island nation associated
with the continent of North America, politically and historically Greenland
is closely tied to Europe, specifically Norway and Denmark."
