Israel part of Europe?

  1. Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Bordeaux in the Europa Cup tonight

    The Eurovision Song Contest

    No Arab nations contesting either competition

    Why?

    Especially when we value Arab oil more than Jaffa oranges!

  2. No, its further away than Istanbul which has always been regarded as the gateway between Europe and Asia.

  4. Just a guess but could it be that as they have poor relationships with most of the countries geographically close by that they have to be in European competitions or no competitions. I cant imagine Tel Aviv Utd against Tehran Rovers being a good game to take the family to.

  7. No, but it will have been a descision driven by the financial rewards, I'm afraid.
