Because letting Iran have access to nuclear weapons to use at their discretion is brilliant idea.

Only not at all. Lesser of two evils.

Allowing Israel to use nuclear warfare against Iran is a brilliant basis for a "lesser of two evils" argument. I don't think it will stand well when the Middle East erupts in bloodshed that will exceed even the status quo. Hard to believe, I know, but true.

They might as well nuke Syria. Egypt, too? Because it won't matter any more if an Arab nation is predominantly Shi'ah or Sunni -- that rift will be swiftly and easily dissolved when the Arab world is given a good and perfect reason to unite and retaliate against what they will perceive as the evil Jewish aggression against Muslims.

While plunging the Middle East farther into turmoil is not a pleasant thing, I'd prefer that to psychotic jihadists with nuclear capabilities. Frankly, Israel has the weaponry, military, and the gumption to hammer down anyone who moves against them in retaliation. While that loss of life is unfortunate, it is immensely preferable to the nuclear alternative.

The fact you prefer Iran with nukes to Israel taking them out and the possibility of war there (albeit in addition to the war already there) is so enormously asinine and foolish to me that it boggles my mind and precludes effective thought. It's mind bogglingly stupid and blind to the realities of the world situation and the impact of the proliferation of nuclear weapons, especially in the ( ... )
