If you want to say that being genocidal is an attribute of all other Middle Eastern nations, that would be an additional motivation to what is natural of having a neighbor with nukes.

I wouldn't say "all other", "most other" will do. But I agree with your point nonetheless. But you do see the consequence of this don't you? If by genocidal state we also imply a margin of "insanity" it mitigates a lot of that ole time game theory... no more Mr. MAD to tend your fences and keep you sheepishly cleaning your silos. Since it depends on Rational Actors.

No. When you fuel your missiles, they will make use of that fuel in short order. And there is the dilemma of proliferation to failing states.
