However, has Israel done anything to Iran?

Has there ever been an Iran-Israeli war?

Did many, if any of the Palestinians migrate to Iran?

Has Israel ever threatened Iran or Iran's interests?

The plight/fate/end game of the Palestinians and Israel is an endless cycle with each side claiming they're in the right. Both are wrong in my view. What does Iran have to do with the situation?

Yet, I see no one here castigating Iran for the public statements of 'wiping Israel off the map.' Even allowing for the argument that the text of that infamous speech has been mistranslated, the public intentions and policies of the current regime in Tehran have been very clear.

Why on earth would anyone begrudge Israel making a show of force in what I imagine is a way keeping the situation from escalating into mutual mushroom clouds?

Or, if need be, preventing a nation that has publicly threatened to destroy Israel and is acquiring the means to follow through?

Why is that wrong?
