You do not have to be in Europe to be in the Eurovision Org.

[Nodoka Hanamura]

Strange.

I mean, you'd assume it being Eurovision - It'd be exclusive to European nations or members of the EU.

Israel = Europe
Upd. Be careful, one austrian artist already tried say they not european. Where he now?

[Wilfred]

"Eligible participants include primarily Active Members (as opposed to Associate Members) of the EBU. Active members are those who are located in states that fall within the European Broadcasting Area, or are member states of the Council of Europe."

[...]

"Eligibility to participate is not determined by geographic inclusion within the continent of Europe, despite the 'Euro' in 'Eurovision' – nor does it have any relation to the European Union. Several countries geographically outside the boundaries of Europe have competed [...]"

... including Israel, Australia, Morocco, Azerbaijan, and many others.

Hang on, why are Bucks Fizz and ABBA not in it anymore?

Israel has significant European diaspora, as does Australia. Although that's not a requirement for getting into Eurovision, it's something to consider/worth thinking about.

The only deciding factor in being in the Eurovision is whether the country's national public broadcaster is a member of the EBU. There is absolutely nothing more to it, no conspiracy theories, no Jews, nothing.
