207 Questions
Israel first participated in the 1973 Eurovision song contest held in Luxembourg.
Israel is geographically situated in Asia. Israel is eligible to enter the Eurovision Song Contest because they are an active member of the European Broadcasting Union. This is a region of broadcasting that stretches as far west as Iceland and includes countries outside of Europe, including among others, Jordan, Iran, Morocco, Libya, and Israel.
The Israeli Broadcast Authority (then IBS) was already a non-European member of the European Broadcasting Union (as it joined, Egypt and Syria left). In 1973 previous Eurovision participants Malta and Austria decided to withdraw from the contest, so Israel was invited to be the 17th country that year, and takes part in the song contest ever since, winning three times, hosting twice.
While this creates initial confusion, it should be made clear that participation isn't based on geographic location, but on the ability to receive transmission from the European Broadcasting Union.

In ways yes and in others no.
Yes:
- Countries get a fair chance to perform their self-chosen song of very similar length - 3:00 min
- Performing Placements in the semi-/finals are done at random and so none are given an unwanted place deliberately.
- All contestants/countries are given the stage setting they want.
- All contestants/countries are given the chance to advertise their songs and like the US Elections, are encouraged to promote their songs to areas in Europe that are most likely to vote and others that might not.
- The classic voting strategies: The Balkans, The Soviet Countries, The Nordic Countries and generalneighbors.
- Without sufficient votes fromneighborsand 'allies,' countries with good songs sometimes don't qualify. E.g. Slovakia, Czech Republic, Andorra etc.
- Similarly, countries with political status but sometimes have bad songs, are almost guaranteed a place in the final. E.g. Russia
- The Big 6: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, The UK and the hosting country of the year, automatically get through to the final because of political status.

Rejecting this, Monaco allowed the president of the EBU to choose a British location to host the event, as he worked for the BBC.
