The council races will most likely have several excuses for not wanting to humanity: needing to think about themselves first (probably Turians), belief that a peaceful resolution can be brought about (Asari), or the belief that humanity got what it deserved (Batarians). But there is no way that the Council can just deny the attack when Earth itself is under fire.
