Yes I do find the concept of a Jewish state disgusting. It leads to a theocracy.

"The issue is that if citizenship is freely given, Jews become the minority in Israel and it is no longer a Jewish state"

This can be easily resolved if Israel would define what it's borders are. But Israel does not in fact want to be a normal country it is run by religious extremists.

That's where the argument over whether Israel should be a Jewish state or a state of the Jews comes from. Should Israel be a Jewish theocracy, or should it be a secular homeland for the Jewish people as an ethnic group? If you find theocracies disgusting, there are plenty of theocratic states you should also be pointing your disgust at.

The right wing element in Israel has definitely held power for a long time and their policies have led to the subjugation of minority groups (I am not defending this), though those are not the religious extremists, they are just nationalists.

> It leads to a theocracy

And yet it hasn't. It's a democracy. Has been since the founding.

> run by religious extremists

It's run by whomever people of Israel elect. The purpose of this country is to protect the Jews from various pogroms and genocides that keep occurring to them with a disturbing regularity.
