Are you still insisting, that Israel is not on the geographical region called "asia" AND the region "middle east", but only in the middle east? Israel is in the middle east AND in asia as a landmass. Why then do you not laugh at people saying, that "england is in europe"? Damnit, you ignore every bit of geography you can possibly ignore, don't be so creationistic, pal.

Well...Isreal is in the Middle East (or Middle Earth at times) AND in Asia. The Middle East is a subset of Asia, if you will. It's considered Western Asia, and parts of it could probably be considered part of Asia Minor, if not a little to the South of it.
It's like arguing that Salt Lake City is in Utah, not the U.S. Where in reality, it's in both.

HappyCabbie and viewers, search 'Asia Geography Notes' on google search. click the first entry. you will see the map Happycabbie is trying to use to prove Israel is not in the middle east. It has 'asia' and 'middle east' labelled separately, now read the disclaimer at the bottom... "Asia has three important recognized political divisions: The Middle East, (or West Asia) countries are colored a lighter shade of gray..." I just disproved your statement using the same map you provided.
@HappyCabbie Check again. You used an image from worldatlas' website. go to the page that map/image is on (the link is in the description of my video reply), and read the legend/disclaimer right beneath the map. it says, "Asia has three important recognized political divisions: The Middle East, (or West Asia) countries are colored a lighter shade of gray...". Just go there and read it. Now what?
@WickedJargon same as before. I can read a map. Israel is NOT an asian country. No matter how much you wish it was, it doesn't change the location of the country nor does it change the DNA of the people who live there.
@HappyCabbie The map you provided clearly shows Israel to be in asia. read the disclaimer/legend beneath the map. again, the link is in the description of my video response. You cannot read a map sir.
@HappyCabbie You're ignoring the fact that worldatlas itself disagrees with u. Try this: 1) go to google and search 'worldatlas asia'. 2) click on the first result. 3) read under 'Asia Geographic Notes' under 'Middle East'. It says:
"Countries considered part of the Middle East (or West Asia) are shown in a lighter shade of gray. Note that they are all still a part of the continent of Asia. "
Do u at least concede that worldatlas' info is not consistent with urs? thats a yes or no question.
@HappyCabbie Please, name all the continents of the earth.
Now, out of three continents in this area in the world, exactly on which one lies the region of ancient palestine, where the country of Israel is located?
Jews and Arabs being semitic peoples doesn't change the facts of geography. It's a segmentation based on land masses, sometimes rather arbitrary, but in this case, thanks to the Suez Canal, clearly marked by water separating land, from the Indian Ocean to the Black Sea.
@vollmuell In most Atlases I have seen, when they show a map pf Africa by itself, or in color while adjoining areas are black and white, or the like, the Sinai is included in Africa, and I've seen more atlases than most.
I have no comprehension of what HC is trying to do. Looking carefully he says 'asian country' rather than 'in asia.' Perhaps he means Jews aren't Asiatic? but they are. He must think it some sort of sick joke.

@HappyCabbie The Middle East is not a continent!. Of course Israel is in Asia. Where so you think it is? Africa? Europe? I guess you lack of formal education is catching up with you, fool.
Continents- North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Antarctica. Where do you see Middle East in this list of the 7 official continents?
@HappyCabbie I think we all have looked at a map and we see that Israel is in the middle east, but only some parts of the middle east are in Africa, the rest are in Asia. They do not share similar culture with what we would consider Asian but the fact is that geographically it is located in Asia.
The middle east, IS PART OF ASIA! Fucking hell HappyCabbie, I'm shocked you could make such a stupid statement in such a mocking tone in this video as though it so obvious that this person on yahoo answer is ill informed when he's right... You made yourself look like a right prick.
@HappyCabbie Continents are defined from geology not history or folklore, geology as in tectonic plates and such, you know. The middle east is on the same continent/plate as China, for example, therefore.
Err. My bad, Israel is on a separate plate altogether, the Arabian plate. In any case, the middle east is in asia, has always been, as far as human memory goes. Turkey is even what is called Asia minor.
"A country X is on a continent A cause a continent A's borders are defined by geology."
Which is false.
A)Most European countries are on the same plate as most asian countries.
B)Iceland/malta arent on the same plate as most european countries, nor middle east is.
So continents borders aren't defined by geology, nor by distance, as Iceland is ten times the distance from continental Europe than Israel is to the nearest European country.
@HappyCabbie That’s the same as saying The Netherlands isn’t in Europe it’s in the Benelux. Or claiming that Sweden is in Scandinavia not Europe. Either you’re trolling or you’re fucking retarded. Claiming that middle east is a continent… This is elementary school stuff.
Tell me something: In the very map you use in your video, the one you got from world atlas dot com, there is a drop down box right below the bottom right side of the map of Asia. It says, select an Asian country. When you click on it, it gives you a list of Asian countries that includes Israel. Why is Israel included in a list of Asian countries if it's not an Asian country?
PS: Saying it over and over again doesn't make it true. Admit you where mistaken before you dig yourself a bigger whole. You have one week to retract your statement or I unsubcribe as you're not worth watching if you're so arrogant... and that's coming from me. (and yes, we know, you don't care if one person unsubs but it's the principle)
Look, okay: I'm not even waiting around for answers. If a guy called InvincibleIronyMan thinks that his services are no longer needed around here, then where does that leave all of you?
Seriously, this is just pathetic. I have seldom seen someone who I actually had some respect for throw themselves into a bigger hole, but the real question is, why are so many people trying their best to follow him?
@Matrixfart I have no problem admitting when I am wrong, in fact I even have an entire playlist of me doing just that. However I am not wrong on this one. Israel is NOT an asian country.
It is good that you are able to admit your faults at times, but admitting your faults on other occasions does not preclude the possibility of you refusing to do so now. You are demonstrably wrong in your assertion by any accepted definition and have no leg to stand on.
If you can find a commonly accepted definition or description which places Israel in any other continent the discussion moves to other fields, but until such a time you are simply wrong.
Israel is in SW Asia. I don't understand what you're laughing at.
If you put "Israel Asia" into google maps you can see Israel sitting right there, in the most southern western regions of Asia. I don't see why you think it's somehow not in Asia, because it just is. You trolling or something? :|
@HappyCabbie Well it's in Asia, so yes, it is an "Asian country". It's also in the middle east, which is comprised of land from western Asia and north Africa. Israel is located in the most southwest reaches of geographical Asia. It is Asian. I don't know how much simpler anyone can make this for you.
Please explain if you could why it's not an "Asian country" to you, and no, "look on a map" won't do, because I've checked maps before and it's right there...In Asia.
@HappyCabbie The burning question for me is, where is HappyCabby? Are you in the USA, on the continent of North America, or on planet Earth? Surely, you can't be in all three? How can you be in three places at once? The mind boggles at the thought! Next you'll be telling me you're in a town or a state somewhere too and then my head may explode!
@HappyCabbie actually, I think we should be clear about this: if, when you say that "Israel is not an Asian country", is it also implied that "Israel is not in Asia"? I mean, would you claim that both statements are true? Do you think they mean the same thing?
A large part of Israel's modern population are descendents of Ashkenazi Jews, who are that portion of the Jewish population who migrated to Europe after the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 66BC. Many people claim that Israel has more ties to Europe than it does to Asia, and not without some cause. But it doesn't change the fact that Israel sits on the Asian landmass. I know you all think that HappieCabbie is not a "smart guy" but do you want to educate him or merely win an argument?
Can we get to a point where we are all agreed that some areas of land overlap? Like, the area we call "The Middle East" overlaps with the areas we call "North Aftrica" and "South-West Asia"? I mean, can we do that? Here? In YouTube comments? Is it even possible?
@HappyCabbie the only logical conclusion i can come up with is that you are fucking with us...i dont want to be mean but you are either fucking with us,or you are very very stupid. I really hope you are just fucking with people otherwise it doesnt make any sense
@start12poop Egypt IS in the Middle East! Yes, and it's in Africa too. Jesus, what is this, remedial geography? Oh, silly question, that's exactly what it is...
@HappyCabby here's the Webster's entry for "Middle East": "the countries of SW Asia & N Africa —usually considered to include the countries extending from Libya on the W to Afghanistan on the E". The OED definition is much the same, as is the Wikipedia definition. If this is correct (and you'd better be prepared to make a case for it if you disagree) you have two choices. Either Israel is in South-West Asia or it is in North Africa. Which is it? et toi...?
Israel's eastern border passes through the Dead Sea. The title of the Encylopedia Brittanica entry for it reads "Dead Sea (lake, Asia)". I didn't even have to read the article!
"The highest temperature in the continent of Asia (53.7 °C/128.7 °F) was recorded in 1942 at Tirat Zvi kibbutz in the northern Jordan river valley" Watzman, Haim - Left for dead - New Scientist 8 February 1997
This is so strangely fascinating. How do you personally define "an Asian country" then? Are you asserting that the middle east is a continent of it's own? Do you concede on any level the validity of other people holding to a contrary position?
@HappyCabbie So the only question you answer is the one that you could so easily choose to 'misinterpret'. Though disappointing I have to admit I did see exactly that response coming, but it is an incredibly rude way of responding to as straight forward and polite an inquiry.
"Continent" is a physical construct, North Am, South Am, Ant, Aus, Asia, Africa, Europe.
General demarcation between Asia and Europe is the Bosporus. Demarcation between Asia and Africa is the Gulf of Suez, making Egypt African and Israel Asian. Middle East is a political construct. It can extend (depending on definition) from Iran to Libya.
Being unwilling to change preconceptions based on real information does not bode well for your schooling.
The country that we identify geographically and (eeek!) politically that bears the name Israel, is in a greater region of landmass that we geographically refer to as Asia. Whether the people living in said country are traditionally or culturally Asian is irrelevant.
Now these words and ideas we use to identify countries and continents are, of course, subjective to the age and circumstance of the political climate, but, at this time in history, the world refers to Israel as an Asian country.
@HappyCabbie Then at least tell people why you hold your position. We have showed you evidence for the things we claim. Maybe you can explain what you mean when you say that Israel isn't in Asia? Maybe you can explain to us where you think Asia is, and where it's borders are. And what continent you think Israel is in? And if your answer is "Middle east" I want you to provide sources that say that the Middle east is it's own continent.
@HappyCabbie You're just acting like you are this stupid. Israel is in Asia Minor. Cut the crap. Too many people have shown you official UN maps and country listings that show Israel as an Asian country.
You're pathetic if you have had this much evidence thrown at you and honestly believe what you're saying.
Ermm. yes it is. Israel is located at 31°30′N 34°45′E at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea in western Asia. (U.S. Library of Congress). and subsequently "Asia: The Land". The New Encyclopedia Britannica (15th ed.) also referes to the Middle eastern states as part of Asia.
The furthest Asian country to the west is Turkey and the furthest to the east is Japan, Furthest to the north is Russia and the furthest to the south is East Timor.
According to every Risk board I've ever seen, that chunk of the world is a subset of the continent named Asia. So by a purely geographic definition of Asia, Israel is in it. However, more practically, when I say or think "Asia", I'm thinking about eastern Asia.
... North America and South America would be one continent as well. Australia and Antarctica would be the only currently defined continents that would stand as they are.
Actually no they're right Israel is considered a Asian country. Its all subjective anyways though sense these boundaries and "continents" as we have defined them are for the most part imaginary even if the land/area in reference is not. If we went by the land itself then Africa, Asia, and Europe would be one single continent.
I see you replied to me from 5 days ago. You got so many responses since.
my question. do you still think Israel isn't an Asian country? If so, do you think everyone just doesn't know what they're talking about, or what? how do explain the reaction (backlash) to yourself? Very curious.
@HappyCabbie Okay then, take your world map and locate the bosporus strait and the caucasus mountains and then tell me where Israel is in relation to those places.
@HandsupLX I agree and I am getting tired of it. Yet it is not the first time I have been trolled and it won't be the last. It is just something you have to get used to.
The middle east is actually considered a part of Asia...

@HappyCabbie I think we all have looked at a map and we see that Israel is in the middle east, but only some parts of the middle east are in Africa, the rest are in Asia. They do not share similar culture with what we would consider Asian but the fact is that geographically it is located in Asia.

@HappyCabbie Continents are defined from geology not history or folklore, geology as in tectonic plates and such, you know. The middle east is on the same continent/plate as China, for example, therefore.

@heloizyjhenifer Your argument was :
"A country X is on a continent A cause a continent A's borders are defined by geology."
Which is false.
A)Most European countries are on the same plate as most asian countries.
B)Iceland/malta arent on the same plate as most european countries, nor middle east is.
So continents borders aren't defined by geology, nor by distance, as Iceland is ten times the distance from continental Europe than Israel is to the nearest European country.
Israel is in Europe.

@HappyCabbie That’s the same as saying The Netherlands isn’t in Europe it’s in the Benelux. Or claiming that Sweden is in Scandinavia not Europe. Either you’re trolling or you’re fucking retarded. Claiming that middle east is a continent… This is elementary school stuff.

Tell me something: In the very map you use in your video, the one you got from world atlas dot com, there is a drop down box right below the bottom right side of the map of Asia. It says, select an Asian country. When you click on it, it gives you a list of Asian countries that includes Israel. Why is Israel included in a list of Asian countries if it's not an Asian country?

It is good that you are able to admit your faults at times, but admitting your faults on other occasions does not preclude the possibility of you refusing to do so now. You are demonstrably wrong in your assertion by any accepted definition and have no leg to stand on.
If you can find a commonly accepted definition or description which places Israel in any other continent the discussion moves to other fields, but until such a time you are simply wrong.

Israel is in SW Asia. I don't understand what you're laughing at.
If you put "Israel Asia" into google maps you can see Israel sitting right there, in the most southern western regions of Asia. I don't see why you think it's somehow not in Asia, because it just is. You trolling or something? :|

@HappyCabbie Well it's in Asia, so yes, it is an "Asian country". It's also in the middle east, which is comprised of land from western Asia and north Africa. Israel is located in the most southwest reaches of geographical Asia. It is Asian. I don't know how much simpler anyone can make this for you.
Please explain if you could why it's not an "Asian country" to you, and no, "look on a map" won't do, because I've checked maps before and it's right there...In Asia.

InvincibleIronyMan 5 months ago
@HappyCabbie actually, I think we should be clear about this: if, when you say that "Israel is not an Asian country", is it also implied that "Israel is not in Asia"? I mean, would you claim that both statements are true? Do you think they mean the same thing?
InvincibleIronyMan 5 months ago
A large part of Israel's modern population are descendents of Ashkenazi Jews, who are that portion of the Jewish population who migrated to Europe after the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 66BC. Many people claim that Israel has more ties to Europe than it does to Asia, and not without some cause. But it doesn't change the fact that Israel sits on the Asian landmass. I know you all think that HappieCabbie is not a "smart guy" but do you want to educate him or merely win an argument?
InvincibleIronyMan 5 months ago
@InvincibleIronyMan yes yes yes.
Malta sits on the African landmass too, but nevertheless is part of Europe, both politically and geographically.
By the way: no Israel doesn't sit on the Asian landmass.
It sits on the middle eastern landmass which is a different tectonic plate.

Can we get to a point where we are all agreed that some areas of land overlap? Like, the area we call "The Middle East" overlaps with the areas we call "North Aftrica" and "South-West Asia"? I mean, can we do that? Here? In YouTube comments? Is it even possible?

@HappyCabby here's the Webster's entry for "Middle East": "the countries of SW Asia & N Africa —usually considered to include the countries extending from Libya on the W to Afghanistan on the E". The OED definition is much the same, as is the Wikipedia definition. If this is correct (and you'd better be prepared to make a case for it if you disagree) you have two choices. Either Israel is in South-West Asia or it is in North Africa. Which is it? et toi...?

This is so strangely fascinating. How do you personally define "an Asian country" then? Are you asserting that the middle east is a continent of it's own? Do you concede on any level the validity of other people holding to a contrary position?

OrdinaryHumon 5 months ago
@HappyCabbie And stupid claims get debunked.
"Continent" is a physical construct, North Am, South Am, Ant, Aus, Asia, Africa, Europe.
General demarcation between Asia and Europe is the Bosporus. Demarcation between Asia and Africa is the Gulf of Suez, making Egypt African and Israel Asian. Middle East is a political construct. It can extend (depending on definition) from Iran to Libya.
Being unwilling to change preconceptions based on real information does not bode well for your schooling.

State of israel is in the middle east. the Middle East, is in Asia.
groovyengineer 5 months ago
The country that we identify geographically and (eeek!) politically that bears the name Israel, is in a greater region of landmass that we geographically refer to as Asia. Whether the people living in said country are traditionally or culturally Asian is irrelevant.
Now these words and ideas we use to identify countries and continents are, of course, subjective to the age and circumstance of the political climate, but, at this time in history, the world refers to Israel as an Asian country.

@HappyCabbie Then at least tell people why you hold your position. We have showed you evidence for the things we claim. Maybe you can explain what you mean when you say that Israel isn't in Asia? Maybe you can explain to us where you think Asia is, and where it's borders are. And what continent you think Israel is in? And if your answer is "Middle east" I want you to provide sources that say that the Middle east is it's own continent.

Ermm. yes it is. Israel is located at 31°30′N 34°45′E at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea in western Asia. (U.S. Library of Congress). and subsequently "Asia: The Land". The New Encyclopedia Britannica (15th ed.) also referes to the Middle eastern states as part of Asia.
The furthest Asian country to the west is Turkey and the furthest to the east is Japan, Furthest to the north is Russia and the furthest to the south is East Timor.
huanthamad 5 months ago
According to every Risk board I've ever seen, that chunk of the world is a subset of the continent named Asia. So by a purely geographic definition of Asia, Israel is in it. However, more practically, when I say or think "Asia", I'm thinking about eastern Asia.

Actually no they're right Israel is considered a Asian country. Its all subjective anyways though sense these boundaries and "continents" as we have defined them are for the most part imaginary even if the land/area in reference is not. If we went by the land itself then Africa, Asia, and Europe would be one single continent.
