Toppling the Soviet regime meant destroying the government and rebuilding it in an entirely different manner. Of course they don't want to destroy the physical state. They want to destroy the concept of Israel as a Jewish democratic state. This could mean several different things... merely ethnically cleansing all of the Jews from the area. Maybe letting some stay under a muslim theocracy. Maybe taking over entirely themselves. Whu knows?

What it definitely means is the dissolution of Israel as an independent/Jewish state. Think about the Allies talking about eradicating the Nazi Regime... they mean it in that way. Utterly obliterating Zionism entirely. Destroying the entire culture, government, demography, etc.
