This really isn't objectively true.
Ancient Greeks had some genetic affinities with other East med populations, but they were very much related also to neighboring Europeans in the Balkans.
Their culture was a fusion of the local Minoan/Pelasgian EEF derived maritime people - which is today and was then predominantly associated with southern Europe, combined with a Northern Indo-European steppe culture - to which they owed their language, gods and certain cultural elements relating to bardic poetry, ritual alcohol use, and military war bands. This too is predominantly a European phenomenon and originated in Europe. It is something they shared with Celts, Germans, Scythians, Italics etc.
It is a great leap to go from the reasonable assertion that "Greece had important trade links with the Near East, which resulted in cultural and genetic exchange, particularly with Indo-Europeans in Anatolia" to the outrageous seething cope of "Ancient Greeks had more in common culturally with MENA than with their European neighbors"
It should be added that the Myceneans got their tin from Cornwall and their amber from Sweden

This is true. Although Classical Greece of Homer and the Socratics was very different from Byzantine and medieval Greece. Spengler talks of this. Both are very different from the West European culture

There is nothing ''northern european'' about the indo-european tribes, they came from the East, not from northern Europe. And the steppe people who interacted with the ancient Greeks have nothing to do with those who interacted with northern Europeans (corded ware). And they existed thousands of years before they differentiated themselves into Celts, Germanics, etc. You are beyond pathetic with this wewuzzery
