I don't think it's necessary wrong for Israel and/or supporters of rightwing Israeli parties to "instrumentalize" the Holocaust by referencing it to present-day concerns (Obama warned at Holocaust memorial by Alexander Burns Politico 04/23/09).
But it would be wrong for the United States to go to war with Iran for no good reason. And if Israel initiates a war on Iran, that would be very damaging to American interests in the world, not least in terms of its consequences for American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Israel has hundreds of nuclear weapons already and the most effective conventional army in the region. They don't need the United States to fight their wars. And their nukes provide an enormous deterrent even in the case that Iran gets a nuclear weapon, which they don't have, won't be able to develop for years, and which they say that don't even want.
