But Israel plays in European leagues because their peace partners will  not accept them.

Answer 10

Secretly they are. Generally we represent them!

Answer 11

No, Israel is not part of the EU.  Because of cultural and economic ties and because of the historical circumstances that drove many Israeli families from Europe into Palestine, Israel has a unique status in the world in a lot of ways.

Answer 12

they should be since they are civilized and aren't strapping bombs to themselves.

Answer 13

Israel is in Asia not Europe. Yes there is a special relationship between most European countries and Israel. It is the place where they can dump their Jewish population without seeming to much the bigot.

Answer 14

Is the United States?   NO!  Israel is the only democratic country in the Middle East which is why it has a special relationship with Europe and the US.  Ailso, you don't want to mess with one of the strongest militaries and best intelligence services in the world.  You want them on your side.
