Why Allah Ta'ala destroyed the previous nations

Q: My question is why Allah destroyed the previous nations? What are the reasons behind those destructions? I know some reasons that are 1) because of polytheism 2) because they hate Muslims 3) they tortured Muslims. But I want to know the central point for destruction. Because if they tortured Muslims then in the current era Israelis are also torturing Muslims. So what is the point here. I read a verse that "If we will not destroy them they will spread fitnah on land thats why we will killed them" but I lost this verse. Can you tell me this exact verse number in the Qur'an?

The Islam of Firoun

Q: In the story of Musa (Alayhis Salaam), just before Pharoahe dies, he repents and declares himself a Muslim, but his Islam is not accepted. Is the situation the same for us today: if a non-Muslim doesn't accept Islam until a catastrophy happens and he knows he will die, will his Islam not be accepted?
