Letting Arabs into the country does not mean Israel can no longer consider itself a Jewish homeland. An increasing number of people in The Netherlands are of non-Dutch origin, but that does not stop the Dutch from considering themselves Dutch. As more foreigners entered my country, The Netherlands did not at some point cease to exist. You seem to be suggesting that Israel should be a country where only Jews would be allowed to live. IOW, Israel should be Lebensraum for their people, and their people only. Sounds vaguely familiar...
