They were invited as guests, because a lot of people there watched it and then they just stayed

I keep seeing this question raised on other social media and there's always some nerd who jumps in to explain that ackshully it's just that there's some international media group and Australia and Israel are members of it, but that's just the window dressing. Like everybody else said, the real answer is white supremacy.

edit: lol I have now seen this explanation here as well, do better hexbears

The media group you are talking about is European Broadcasting Union and Australia actually is not a part of it, Israel is and thats why they can take part. Interestingly a lot of other middle eastern and north african countries are also members of the EBU and could take part in the eurovision but dont do so because of israeli participation

We’re being denied Moroccan participation in eurovision just for Israel?

I’m sorry but have you seen their eyes?
