Well it won't really do much good. In the Cold War era, French went all against them being a UNSC permanent member as well. Nothing much happened except Israel managing to make indigenous Mirages, crushing the UAR's air forces and winning the war.
Frankly put, you'd be thinking out of the box as well if your homeland's survival was at stake as well.
Like it or not, Israel here here to stay.
It is pragmatic if the middle eastern countries come together and make peace with its existence, therefore saving the world of another bloodbath like the one between 1938-1945.
I am simply throwing the worst case scenarios man.
Remember, in survival even a single man resorts to cannibalism when deserted with no food, water or resources.
You're talking about a country here; a highly intelligent, highly educated and fiercely nationalistic country.
Firstly, you can't compare the French in the UNSC with the Americans in UNSC: The French and the Brits are going to follow America's lead in the UNSC. And very recently I have even seen some Israelis wanting to offer some bones to Russia in order to secure a Veto--should Obama decide to go the Abstention route. That desperate is the situation for Israel in case Obama does follow the UNSC route--there is not question about that.
I don't think I ever wished--or even implied Israel's destruction. On the contrary: Israel can be a beacon for democracy, human rights, technological innovation in that region if/when Israel decides to join the region as part of that region instead being a proudly self-declared last-bastion of the West in that region; the last-bastion position is simply untenable: Today the Arabs are weak and today Israel has the sole Superpower's support (though that too is certainly not rising amongst the Democrats). Tomorrow is another day.
BTW, by giving up some viable State to the Palestinians, Israel's survival is not threatened; However, the 'Settlers Enterprise' is certainly threatened. The Military Contractors (in both America and Israel) are certainly threatened.
Finally, you need to quit using these things like 'Israel is here to stay': Nowadays, many Muslims, or even a Muslim majority is willing to live with Israel. The Saudi Peace Offer of 2002 still stands. However, I don't think, the Israelis WERE ever going to allow a viable Palestinian state between Med. and Dead Seas.
Israeli attempt to create a 'Lebensraum' and Israeli attempt to duplicate the European conquest of North America must be defeated. A former US President Mr. Carter and the current US President Mr. Obama seem determine to do exactly that.
