Eurovision Song Contest
Since when was Israel part of Europe? Does anyone know why they enter the European song contest? How come they are allowed and not their neighbours Palestine, Egypt and Jordan? (Of course they might not want to...)

The countries eligible to enter are not those in the continent of Europe, they are the countries serviced by the Eurovision television network, which includes some countries which are thousands of miles from Europe itself, but still elligable for the contest.
it's members of the European Broadcasting Union - see http://www.ebu.ch/en/index.php
