Certainly a legitimate topic for an Israeli paper, but I still I find this a rather bizarre obsession on the part of the administration. The idea that Europe or the UN would be swayed by Israel's position is ludicrous. People on this site being good researchers, I asked the other day if anyone could direct me to criticism of the other 57 abstentions on the UN resolution. Absent that, the administrations hostility seems to be about Israel, not the Ukraine.
It is a given that the Arab Spring was a disaster for America and Israel. Egypt, although governed by a heartless plutocrat, Mubraka, fell to the Muslim Brotherhood, which made Mubarak seem noble and compassionate, as they persecuted Jews, Christians, and secular Muslims.
When Obama decided to intervene in Syria he offered publicly the thought of doing so when it would have been two years two late to help the FSA, and would have helped Al Qaeda and other undesirables.
See a pattern here?
Why should Israel want to help Obama now?
Obama’s foreign policy has been anti-Israeli.
Going after Israel, though, helps to shore up his base, who - like many on the political spectrum - right now would like to stay out of this.
