I think it would be interesting to compare, chronologically, Syriza's turn
toward Israel with its turn toward betraying some of its economic policy.
I am afraid it is more deep than that.
Back in August 2012 Shimon Peres had visited Greece. He did not fail to
pay a visit at SYRIZA's headquarters:

Surprisingly, Syriza has made no declarations in the press concerning
the meeting. The official party's silence had raised a controversy.
Journalists were asking around. The Syriza's reaction was some
apologetic articles in the party's newspaper.
In this sense Rena Dourou, now the regional governor of Attica, had
wrote two newspaper articles one in "to ethnos" and another in "Avgi"
SYRIZA's official newspaper, praising Peres "who has over the years
expressed the left version of the Israeli political stage" and
estimating that "today, the relations of Israelis and Palestinians are
in a dead point. In favour of whom? Certainly in favour of the
extremists on both sides"

This had a serious impact on Syriza. Tasos kourakis, now the education
deputy minister, among others, had then declared as of the meeting
Peres-Tsipras: "That will be our future policy? No, I am not
interesting in that kind of "responsible" diplomacy, which tomorrow will
be our foreign policy"
iskra.gr, the site of left platform had even republished from "to
ethnos" an almost polemic article by G. Delastic an ANTARSYA journalist
although with a modest neutrality disclaimer

Obviously by now, almost three years later, they all have changed their
minds. Nobody in Syriza has raised that kind of issue, not even after
the referendum during the internal struggle. Apparently they agree with
Kamenos and the bourgeoisie that foreign policy is a very serious matter
to be left in the hands of a non right-wing government.
