> Further, Iran has openly declared their intention to genocide Israel, on repeat.

Based on my understanding, that's based on a misinterpretation so what they're actually saying in Farsi. Even so, the attitude of the population and government in Pakistan towards Israel isn't that much different. Even if you consider the dynamics between Pakistan and India, the last war was 50 years ago and other than some skirmishes, nothing major happened.

If we were to substitute Iran for Pakistan and Israel for India, would the situation be really that different?

> North Korea for decades has declared their desire to conquer South Korea and create one Korea under their rule

To a certain extent, this is what happened in Vietnam and the country appears to be doing okay these days.

On Israel, there are very explicit messages around, though it's more of a "Zionist" genocide. The IR will not care if the Jews just go out of the ME, presumably.
