Actually I’m sick of the expression, as I too have used, of wiping out Israel. Israel in that statement is just a place. But Israel is the Jewish state and is home to some 7 million Jews. Each one, a part of a family and with all kinds of associates and friends, who also have families and friends. What the Iranians and others threaten Israel with is a Holocaust, but performed far more quickly.
