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.

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.

Youโ€™re putting words in my mouth, Iโ€™m saying Israel could join not should.
