If you think that Mediterranean countries aren't essentially European I don't know what to tell you either. And that's before considering the heavily Ashkenazi influence over at least early Israel. One of the EU's official languages even is Semitic.

Is this some bot hallucinating? Israel is a white supremacist settler colony founded by Europeans. Maybe colonialism is essentially European, but I’d like to believe we moved past that.

Apart from that, most of Turkey and the entire Levant are in Asia. Other Mediterranean countries are in North Africa. Tell me who in their right mind would say that Syria or Egypt are essentially European?

Finally, there is no language called ‘Semitic‘, it is a language family. ~~No Semitic language is an official EU language.~~ The EU doesn’t even have anything to do with Eurovision.
