Israel's neighbors are all invited to the Eurovision, and decline to participate because Israel is involved.

In a comment by _alphanerd_ in this subthread he points out that problematic states such as Russia, Azerbaijan, Turkey and Australia are in the Eurovision.

Maybe Israel's neighbors object to that?

Or maybe they can't find bad enough musicians to get an entry together and are afraid of losing?

> Israel is in the Eurovision

So is Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia until 2022, Turkey until 2012, and weirdly enough Australia.
