I feel like there should just be an organization of countries that are not Israel or on the UN security counsel. The United Small Nations. Then they could just do things without everything they propose getting vetoed.

Just removing veto power seems like the simpler solution (not that that would happen either)

One nation, one vote seems like a good idea to me. The US would never allow it tho.

That's basically the non-aligned movement, which... Uh... Didn't work out very well last time.
