The Rachni attacked on their own free will they are not innocent victims.  Bioware wants you to think they are super nice paragons that were wronged

The quarians are idiots if they let a human's opinion determine whether they go to war or not..

And regardless of whether they were culpable or victims, they paid for it with nigh extinction. They are sentient and have no reason to believe they wouldn't just lose again.

Moreover, Council ships invaded Rachni space and refused to answer Rachni hails. The fact that they used completely different means of communications doesn't change the fact that an armed ship entered their space and didn't seem willing to talk.

And by the way, Bioware are the writers. They can have it turn out any way they want regardless of what you or I say. Their job is to enterain us with whatever they do, and both scenarios can be entertaining.

Salarian explorers likely stumbled close to a rachni queen.
The rachni besides waiting for the Council to attack went on the offensive.
The Rachni are a territorial species and probably feared a full-scale invasion..

The Rachni Wars are a big reason you don't activate dormant relays at your leisure

What if the council doesn't take action on earth, and the Alliance has to defend earth alone without the support of the alien races?

The Alliance wouldn't be alone. Every military force on earth, be it legitimate or mercenary, would be bent on defeating the reapers.

Fair enough, but the humans would still be at a disadvantage, I think.  Wouldn't it be a better situation to have the council's automatic support if Earth was attacked?

I doubt thousands of Reapers came to the Milky Way to just attack Earth.
