1945 was 80 years ago. None of the people working at any german company today were even born when the Holocaust happened. I don't see how that topic is relevant when it comes to buying decisions today. Punish corporations for stuff that they actually can influence today, not for stuff that nobody alive is even responsible for.

All countries associated with the European Broacast Union can participate.

Theoretically yes, but associated members (in contrast to full members) still need to be approved on a case by case basis.

Active members (as opposed to associate members) of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) are eligible to participate; [...]. Associate member broadcasters may be eligible to compete, dependent on approval by the contest's reference group.[49]

Eurovision is organised by the European Broadcasting Union, which includes basically all countries in the European Broadcasting Area (basically Europe + all of the Mediterranean). Those include Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Armenia, etc. They have always been allowed to participate. Australia is an outlier. They just got a special invitation.
