Yeah the democrats were weak when it comes to Gaza.

The Dems were not “weak” on Gaza - they very strongly supported their favorite little genocidal white supremacist colonialist project.

But, they didn’t say “the west bank is yours for the taking. Go get!”

Nobody “handed” Israel the West Bank - the IDF can concentrate on the West Bank now because they were too entangled by their abysmal failure to beat Hamas in Gaza.

largely peaceful anti-israel protests that were commonplace under the democrats will now get violently shut down by autocratic style policing

Good. The people doing “peaceful” protest needs to learn what “peaceful” protest amounts to one way or the other.

Also trump has an extremely pro Israeli track record

So does the entire US political establishment, including anyone the Dems will allow as a presidential candidate.

PTB or CLM… I’m torn.

Your take on this is as shit as any other emanating from the lemmy.world liberal hivemind, but I don’t think the ban was justified (at least not according to the available information).
