Israel literally owns that contest. By what reasoning could the EU force the owner of a silly song contest to exclude their own country?

They don’t own the contest, an Israeli company sponsors Eurovision.
I suspect the song on Israeli participation is not over yet, but that’s a side tangent.

This is nonsese. The business is owned by its owners. Sponsors are the customers. For multinational staples like Eurovision, sponsors get limited say.
well they did it against russia RTnews and even today russian players are treated like trash in Europe. just look at tennis for instance.
