    Why does Israel compete in the European championships in athletics, swimming, football etc when it is not a European Nation? If it is given a wild card why not include Palestine?

    For the football explanation read here.The other associations have a similar policy.

    Thank you for responding but the answer in Wikipedia does not explain why Israel is allowed to compete in the European competitions and on what basis the decision was made. Are Palestinians included in the teams representing Israel? If it is an arbitrary decision then why cannot Iran, Syria, Lebanon and others also compete in the Euro league?

    The question sounds more than fair to me.
