Not too far from reality. This is Sweden's Eurovision contestant for 2019. The 2019 event is being held in Israel this weekend, because for some bizarre reason, EuroGoys think Israel should get to participate too.

That makes no sense, there is no way Israel is located within Europe by any understanding.

Israel has special membership of some associations because their neighbours would not compete against them in regional competitions. The best example is the Israel football team. They could not play World Cup qualifiers as no Islamic country would compete, so FIFA setup an alternate path; at one time even making Israel part of Oceania and playing off against Australia for a spot at the World Cup. Now they are in the European confederation (UEFA) and their club sides play in European club competitions.
