I dont agree with everything the Israeli Government does but it is a functional democracy in a very unstable region.

I managed to get tickets in 2010 and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

I still say it's idiotic that non euro countries to be allowed in. I'm american, never watched eurovision. don't really care about it, but it seems stupid that other continents are let in. I know it's some "expansion program" or whatever. but it's still dumb.

Only because they disenfranchise populations that would vote the wrong way

Israel has been in Eurovision since the 70s and it is because they are members of the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) which is the organisation that own Eurovision. Australia is also an EBU-member but not a full member so they need an annual invitation from the host nation.

A song contest pretty much. It began in 1956 and 7 countries took part. Now 40-43 countries take part each year.

Each nation sends a newly written song which cant be longer than 3 minutes, you cant have more than 6 people on stage and all vocals must be live but short segments with vocoder is allowed.
