Syria closer to europe more than some countries in eurovision
Ehm no they're not.
What countries do you refer to? Every country that isn't "fully european" in ESC atleast borders to Europe. I wouldn't say that much about Syria.
As for Israel we all know why they're in so not much to discuss there now.
Syria has nothing to do with Eurovision. It is not geographically European, not culturally, not politically and it doesn't even border to Europe and it has no Eurovision history aswell. Makes no sense.

I can't see any problem with more cultures in Eurovision.

I can see. In case Israel will win, Do you think they will accept Israeli singer in ESC in Syria? A country who behave like this (like Lebanon/Syria and all the group) should first know what is EUROVISION and don't mix politics. If they don't want broadcast the Israeli performance, do you really think we need such a country in ESC? It's childish :/ . . .
And I think I can say: END OF TOPIC

How do you know that ? It's a wrong prejudice. I don't think that they'll not broadcast when israeli singer started the show, This topic shouldn't be closed with someones' prejudices.

Well not all of us want this to become some "UN peace conference song contest farce"... it's not about cultures, it's about not turning this into one big joke.
I want this to just be... well EUROvision.
Worldvision would be too major.

Eurovision can tolerance some non-european countries, And Syria deserves it too. Cause it's a well modern country. Syria can send distanced songs from their cultures. But if they send songs from their cultures, there is no problem with it too. Aren't there already middle eastern culture in eurovision ?

OMG This is EUROvision, music competition for European countries (and plus Israel of course ) and end of story.
What letters you don't understand in this word EUROVISION.
We had already Morocco, and it ended badly. Their most famous female singer Samira Bensaïd was finished at the bottom on 1980 (I think).
Europeans don't understand the sense of her song
Europe for Europeans!!!!

It was 2nd to last for her. All of her 7 points came from Italy but yeah, I believe she had the best song and should have won.

I can't see the problem :s. I mean Georgia, Armenia,... aren't in Europe, but if I understand it correctly they are accepted because the have borders with Russia?
So why can't Syria participate? They have borders with Turkey and Israël (closed, but a border) AND if you look on the map. Syria is closer to Europe than Georgia, Armenia,...
That's not the reason why they can't participate.
If you say the culture is too different, than the concept of Eurovision doesn't work anymore. You can't say the Balkan Music is the same as French Music and English Pop isn't the same as Nederpop...
The only thing that is a bit controversial is that it isn't a democracy and yes I think they will not broadcast the Israeli performance. If they can guarantee that they will broadcast it, I don't think it is a problem!

Ehm?
Most of Georgia's area is actually Europan. Armenia is culturally European and was part of the Soviet Union and is a direct neighbor to Europe and sometimes even considered partly European in general, so how can you say "Syria is closer to Europe" than those... on what terms really? Because it's (Syria) not closer geographically, nor culturally, nor historically, nor politically... so on what terms are you refering to? Makes no sense.
I mean this contest would just turn into a farce if every country and his cousin would take part.
This is EUROvision not WORLDvision.

Syria a modern country!?!?
Lebanon is considereded more modern and liberal and couldn't make themselves even show the Israeli entry.
I mean let Eurovision be.
We don't want some UN peace conference farce out of this contest.

We don't talk about Lebanon here. I think Syria is a modern country
How do you think it is not ? :/It would be very funny to see Morocco (again);Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Mongolia (coz they bordered with Russia), Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and of course China (many chinese live in Europe).
And don't forgot the Greenland.
"Hello Europe! This is Tehran calling! ..... and our 12 points go tooooooooooo Syria"
Salam alaykum and mighty Allah bless all believers!
Host: "Thank you Iran, now we go to Dushanbe!
Hello Dushanbe, good evening Tajikistan..........
come on guys, are you serious?

Iran gives 12 points to Saudi Arabia, not Syria, I think.
Syria is different. Kazakhstan and Syria deserves to participate in Eurovision. I don't know others. But only these 2 modern and lovely countries wouldn't be a problem for Eurovision IMO

Even Jordan didn't show the Israeli entries in time they put ESC on their channels, so Syria? What is the difference? .... It makes no sense really, it's 100% they won't broadcast the Israeli performance!!!
