They should have been thrown out once it got clear that their response to October 7 turned into a genocide.
-
They're not in Europe, so they should have never been eligible to participate.
-
This is not the reason why they should be out. They are a part of the EBU and therefore eligible.
The war and genocide is a clear violation though and got Russia kicked pretty fast when they invaded Ukraine
-
They should be thrown out of EBU and any other European association a long time ago.

Well akshually you only need to be within the European Broadcasting Area to participate; Middle Eastern countries other than Israel just don't.
-
Then how does Australia get a pass?
-
They're a long time affiliate member of the EBU and big Eurovision fans, they were invited for the 60th Eurovision (IIRC) to mark the event and they've just stuck around.
-
And I am really glad they did. They often brought some cool stuff on the stage.
-
This, it would be interesting to extend this special status and have a different guest country every year.

Meh, same goes for Australia, but I see your point.
