No it's not. The adage doesn't even mention the past, except to use the past as an excuse for actions now. Try reading it again.
When you stand before God on judgement day he will not judge you on what others do, but on what decisions YOU made, what actions YOU took. Blaming your actions on others 'making' you do it won't cut the mustard. By your logic Iran has every right to work toward the destruction of Israel because America and Britain were mean to them some time in the past. The responsibility for any actions taken against Israel will be Irans, not Americas, not Britains. If you've been bullied in the sandpit that doesn't give you the right to go out and bully in turn.
