It's horrible, but also true. Germany had to be beaten to complete submission, fighting to the last inch until Berlin itself fell. Just recently, ISIS was huge, controlling vast oil reserves. The middle east is problematic to say the least and IRI fanaticism is in the hitler-isis category. The west has built a nice cocoon but this is the world in which we live.

It's also important to note that even though the west basically caused all these issues in the middle east, that doesn't absolve the countries and people of things they have done of their own accord. I can understand some middle eastern countries saying Israel shouldn't be there, since it was placed their by western fiat basically, but that is not a justification for wanting to nuke them.

Iran isn't about to nuke Israel, rather looking for a MAD outcome. Instead Israel prefers to have freedom of action and avoid a MAD like scenario. Of course it is best for Israel to not have a MAD like scenario so we can play up Iran's evilness for sure...
