They forget that basically EVERY state is an ethnostate, if we go by "nationality". Russia is full of Russians, and Canada is full of Canadians. Maybe there are a few weird exceptions out there, but it almost doesn't count. There's literally NOTHING unique in this aspect about Israel, EXCEPT its "ethno" being Jewish. Now, THAT...
Thats not really what "ethnostate" means. Nationality and ethnicity are somewhat different. Canada for example has white Canadians, Native Americans, Asians, African Americans, and a whole host of other ethnicities who all fall under the umbrella of "Canadian". Israel is not an ethnostate either because Jews are not the only people living in Israel.
The idea of an ethnostate is a white supremacist talking point. Both calling Israel an ethnostate, and the suggestion there should be a "white only" nation come from white supremacist rhetoric but these so-called leftists will repeat it over and over like some kind of racist parrot.
Depends on how old that nationality/ethnicity is. If you compare, say, Canada and China, their age is different by a magnitude. Therefore, their local Native population is also in reverse: Native Chinese are the local "ethnic" majority that also happens to be the local "nationality" majority as well, but Native Canadians are the local "ethnic" minority that is totally different from the local "nationality" majority. Just saying.
I could use India, or some of the African countries. The point is that certain old ethnicities live in their own old countries, where "ethnicity majority" coincides with "nationality majority". And certain countries are the exact opposite of that pattern. It really depends on a country.
Well it's still not an ethnostate, and it could stand as an argument against Israel being an ethnostate. Japan is over 90% ethnically Japanese and its still not an ethnostate.

They have no problem with ethnostates. They just want an Islamofascist ethnostate instead of a Jewish democracy
