Former Soviet Jews ( that's who he is) have this ability to see everything in black and white in Russia, they have tendency to see everything through the prism of their suffering, and it usually mars the picture.
While there is no doubt that ( as usual) there is certain craziness when it comes to that whole Boeing ordeal - a craziness of special Russian kind, ( "America did it," or "Ukraine did it," ) but it's only a part of a picture. No matter who did it, the intelligent part of Russians understand that this whole "creation of tribunal" by UN Security Council is not about "investigation," but about politics, with a "guilty" verdict prepared for Russia; the unquenchable desire of the US to pin all the world's problems and troubles on Russia.
I've read this latest essay of Dmitry Olshansky on a subject on FB - it pretty much sums it all up.

Dear Forces of Goodness!
You've already organized the invasion of Iraq, killing hundreds of thousands people and igniting the civil war, where everyone fights again everyone, facilitating the birth of ISIS in the process. All because supposedly "Saddam Hussein definitely had the nuclear weapon" and he "definitely had ties to Al-Qaeda."
-You've already destroyed Libya, turning one of the most prosperous countries in Africa into the field of civil war, where everyone once again fights against everyone.
-You've already almost destroyed Syria, because "Bashar Assad is a bloody tyrant," and once again creating Isis in the process, while in unleashed civil war everyone fights against everyone.
-You've already used your "tribunal" in Yugoslavia, "proven" that Serbs are the ultimate fascists, while Croats and Bosnians are wonderful people, and Kosovars are even better, even if they are involved in trafficking of human organs.
-You've already installed former Georgian president as the governor of Odessa - a president, under whom the torture in prisons was admitted and talked about even by the most "liberal" newspaper in Russia.
-You've already separated Kosovo from Serbia, not caring a bit about either separatism, nor the opinion of Serbs on this matter.
-You've already accepted with good-natured complacency the laws giving "non-citizen" status in Baltic countries, inside of EU, thus legally accepting on your territory people of a "second sort."
-You never insisted on any kind of "tribunals," when civil planes were hit by Ukraine or by the US. For some strange reason or the other you had no need for it.
-With the same pleasant complacency you've accepted the nazi salutes and the wolfangels adoring the banners of "Azov" battalion. Had you seen them in Russia, your indignation would have had no end.
-You were totally unmoved by the scene of people burned alive in Odessa, in front of the eyes of the whole world. You didn't need any international investigations back then, why would you, since that was the wrong kind of people, the undesirable ones.
-You are never particularly concerned with the overt bigotry and obscurantism, the executions and savagery worthy of Marquis de Sad of your favorite allies in Persian Gulf.
And that's why, our dear Forces of Goodness, there will be no "tribunal" on that Boeing. You can live without it.
