You have some good info in your comment, but I believe the reasoning counters the original claim that the OP is false. Yes, the West created Israel, allowed them to steal and develop technology that resulted in a nuclear rogue state, and continues to supply them. However, I also agree that the circumstances involving Jeffrey Epstein show evidence that Israel is either responsible for, or deeply involved with, a blackmail operation of political elite using pedophile networks and likely whatever else it could. Also, I agree that Israel is currently an illegally-armed nuclear armed country.
Unfortunately, they also have Jericho III missiles with a max range estimated to be 11,500 km (distance to central US from Israel directly). They also have a fleet of Dolphin-class submarines that can be operating along any coastline. Straight from the Jericho Wikipedia page:
Israel is acting unhinged: committing genocide, murdering journalists, settling occupied land, and torturing prisoners (all war-crimes). To quote Israeli General Moshe Dayan, "Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother." This is that 'mad dog' behavior. It's a tool that makes people believe they might actually follow through something as crazy as the Samson option. To me, their leadership seams willing and they absolutely have the means. However, this is only possible because of that 'mad dog' image. As soon as people recognize that a 'mad dog' is collared, securely chained, and unable to do them harm, they can continue on without fear.
Israel operates with a policy of deliberate ambiguity. Their possession of nuclear weapons has never been formally acknowledged and they have not agreed to the restrictions outlined in the UN's Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Once they do come clean, and agree to the same terms as other nuclear superpowers, the "mad dog" image will fade. Only then will other countries stop fearing the possibility of being nuked due to the chain of events that would begin with a reversal on global support.
Regardless, I do hope countries in the west take action to stop these atrocities. It would be even better if Israel would come clean and make official agreements with other nuclear-armed countries, but I won't hold my breath. History should judge the west for the involvement in creating this monster. However, at this stage I think it's an understatement to say "the cat is out of the bag." Israel's actions are so atrocious, and they need to be held accountable themselves.
