To be fair, this is exactly why they are doing it. This is coming out of the belief that the Jewish people need a Jewish refuge state based on the constant past consequences of not having one.

If they didn’t control for their population, they’d need to decide between not being a Jewish state and not being democratic.

It's funny how the experience of being subjected to a racist, human -rights-disregarding ethnonationalist regime that engaged aggression based on a desire for historic ethnic territory and a desire for buffer space has provoked the creation of a racist, human-rights-disregarding, ethnonationalist regime that engages in aggression based on a desire for historic ethnic territory and buffer space.

Well, not “funny” as much as “tragically ironic”.

Not ironic is the least.

When Jews were being murdered by the millions, nothing was done. Countries turned ships full of Jewish refugees around some of who went back to Europe and perished.

It’s pretty clear that nobody will look after Jews but other Jews and Jews will have no refuge except in a Jewish state.

I recall that Palestinian leaders made a state visit to Singapore and the then Prime Minister Lee Kwan Yew, famously pragmatic, said “You’ll never defeat Israel militarily. Why? They have nowhere else to go.”

I don’t think that comparing Israel to Nazi germany is funny nor is it remotely accurate.
