Question Is Israel in Europe?

I thought it was in the middle east?
So why do Israeli clubs play in European competitions, and why are Israel in the European championships?

See, this confuses me also, where exactly is the middle east? Europe is a continent as is Asia, Africa, N & S America, Australasia, Antartica.

Is it in Asia or Europe?

As for the Israel question I jsut did a quick google and cant answer you, sorry.

Probably they feel more European because most of the Middle Eastern countries are against them being there. Also they are allies of the west.

From the Wiki. . . .

The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) is the governing body of football in Asia, excluding Cyprus and Israel but including Australia.

Several national football associations which are geographically in Asia or mostly in Asia belong to UEFA rather than the Asian Football Confederation. These nations are Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Israel, Cyprus, Russia and Azerbaijan (Israel and Kazakhstan are former AFC members). Cyprus chose to be classed as a European football nation — it had the choice of Europe, Asia and Africa.
