Does European Identity or Unity Exist?

I was saying Cyproits don't cluster with mainland Greeks, as they are basically Hellenized Lebanese/Syrian/Palestinians.

They have nothing in common with this Arabs you mention, the archaic native population of Cyprus was similar to Anatolians and Levantines, but they mixed with Greeks later. Learn your history, boy

They were not Anatolians but Levantines just like Lebanese, Syrians and Palestinians. If you mean Arabian Arabs of course, but even their blood is present in Cyprus, it was part of the Rashdun Caliphate and various Arabian empires, until the Crusades.

Anyways if they are European so are Bosinaks and Albanians more so since they actually look it.

You're just mad because Europeans are closer to each other than you are with Africans. Real Africans don't even like you bro. You should hear how much shit the Nigerians here talk about you.

Even pure Africans are the most diverse group on the planet. Of course there will be confusion of the cohesiveness of Europeans when such similarities aren't evident in Africa.

I think you need to learn your history, Lebanese are Phoenicians, not arabs, and a fair amount of Palestinians and Syrians are Phoenician as well. I think you should know this, being that Phoenicians are the ones who introduced to your people the Alphabet, and Greeks and Phoenicians were pretty tight until the time of the Persian empire.

Here's some maps of the Levant, bro, different from Arabia (home of arabs)

I don't really see it.There is no uniform European culture,history, or genetics.

What have Sicilians or Cypriots and Greeks to do with Saamis or Scandinavians?They are closer to Middle Easterners than them.

There is a strong animosity between Western Europeans/Germanics and Eastern Europeans/Slavs who are considered inferior by Germanics.

Also Northern vs Southern European is quite frequent.

At the other side you have the troublesome third world of Europe the Balkans.

European White Unity is just a fake unity who is mostly pushed by colonial mutts.

Europe is a civilisation. Greater Europe consists of the descendents of European Christendom, which is: Celts, Germanics, Latins, Hellenics, Finno-Ugrics and Slavs. Put more simply: it consists of those whose forebears came under the Catholic and Orthodox Churches within the geographical confines of Europe prior to the Reformation. There's a great deal of racial cohesion, but at the end of the day, the facts need not be decided by genetic analysis. We know who we are, and you aren't of us.

Lebanese have some Phoenician ancestry but they later mixed with the Arabs who spread their religion in the middle east, Cypriots escaped this influence. I think that Sephardi Jews have more Phoenician ancestry than Lebanese or Palestinians (who mixed with Arabs and north Africans).
As for the alphabet, the Greeks modified the Phoenician alphabet -which had no vowels- and was it self a modified version of the Egyptian.

Cyproits did not they were part of the Rashidun Caliphate, and later Uymmad and Abbasid Caliphates until the Crusades

Another American telling Europeans what we are like.

I've travelled and lived all over Europe and never felt out of place. I'm not sure whether I'd feel so at home out of this continent, but I guess I wouldn't.

Europeans are more concerned with the differences hat exist between them rather than similarities. That is why the question "what unites us" is hard to answer well.
