They have been for a while, and there are a lot of non-European nations that are part of it. Australia is a consistent member, and in the past they have had places like Bangladesh, India, Japan, Syria, and Kazakhstan.
A lot of “Euro” contest stuff is loosely synonymous with “Western sphere of influence countries, minus America.” Israel gets slipped into that. Some of our Asian allies do too, sometimes.
I'm out of the loop but how come Israel is in Eurovision? I'm mostly sure they're not on the European continent. Is that normal?
Israhell sports teams all play in Europe, soccer, basketball.
There's a cycling team sponsored by them and it's fucking the Vuelta de España, with daily protests in each route.

The why call it Eurovision? I just can't take them serious
Because the EU wishes it was the One World Government and is still salty their colonies told them to fuck off.
Maybe it started as a European unification thing and has since expanded
Comment Reported for: Rule 12 - Disinformation
Not what I expected to check for disinformation, but okay.
Turns out there is a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_in_the_Eurovision_Song_Contest
Australia and Israel appeared, but apparently Bangladesh, India, Japan, Syria and Kazakhstan have not.
Maybe you are misremembering something?
Perhaps, or they only showed up once and I misremembered.
I also find it strange that they make a report for a rule violation and not, you know, just make a comment calling it out.

It's within the European Broadcasting Area which defines EBU membership and Eurovision network contest access
Oh no...anyway...
Good. More countries should follow suit. Israel is not compatible with civilization, and should be shunned from it completely.
