Morocco returning to the contest, still think it's nearly impossible...

Morroco has already participated and can according to EBU rules, as they are in the EBU broadcasting area. It's not the same situation as Australia.

True, but they participated ONE TIME, 2000 years ago, now they suddenly returns. Perfect timing, don't ya think? I'm anticipating South Africa and Madagascar too.

Exactly, there would be no issue with Morocco returning. I for one would like to see it but can't see it ever happening.

Morocco and Tunisia (if possible) are the only new countries I would like to see in the contest!

I want them too.
But they don't want you. :(

I don't know if Morocco or Tunisia has a real problems with Israel, I know that Israelis can visit there and they can visit Israel with visa of course!

2M TV seem to be fine with Israel. If they ever get EBU membership I could imagine Morocco would be back in a heartbeat.

Re: MOROCCO 2016

My answer is the same as in the Australia, China, Qatar and Lebanon threads... no !

Though I gotta say the one and only Moroccan ESC entry to date was actually one of my fav entries of that year/edition... but I'm consistent in my opposition to any further non-European expansion of Eurovision, sorry to the Moroccan fans.... it has nothing to do with the country itself though... I don't make an exception for any country here (other than the few non-European that are already consistently taking part).

You can't argue with Morroco participating though, if the broadcaster wants to that's all it takes since Morroco is a member of the EBU

As I agree with Australia or China, I disagree about Morocco. Since they are member of EBU, they have every single right to join Eurovision. Even Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine and Russia can participate and do quite well, why not Morocco? I am unable to see any reason.

But anyway, countries such as Morocco, Qatar or Lebanon have too much things not to even broadcast the contest. So it is not even necessary to discuss about them returning.
