Democrats' "strongly-held principles" seem to evolve depending on who occupies the White House, don't they?

They do. Obama said vote for the Black lady until Winsom Sears ran

That's not Gaza-related, though.

Try these pivots on for size:

Many prominent Democrats publicly condemned or expressed extreme hostility toward Palestinians long before Donald Trump was elected POTUS.

Here are just a few documented examples from well before November 2016:
  • Hillary Clinton (2000, 2006, 2008, 2014)
    • As First Lady in 2000: condemned Palestinian “incitement” and “culture of violence.”
    • As Senator in 2006: co-sponsored the Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act to cut all U.S. aid unless Palestinians “recognize Israel, renounce terror, and dismantle their terrorist infrastructure.”
    • 2014 memoir Hard Choices: “The Palestinian leadership’s refusal to accept… has been the primary impediment to peace.”
  • Chuck Schumer (multiple times pre-2016)
    • 2007 Senate floor: “Hamas is a terrorist organization… we should have no dealings with them.”
    • 2014 Gaza war: “Israel has a right to defend herself against these vicious rockets… Hamas started and continues this conflict.”
  • Nancy Pelosi
    • 2008 trip to Israel: “Anybody who has been following the Palestinian-Israeli conflict knows that Hamas has brought nothing but violence and disruption.”
    • 2014: “If [Palestinians] want peace, they should stop firing rockets into Israel.”
  • Joe Biden
    • 1982 Senate hearings: threatened to cut aid to Israel if they didn’t get tougher on Palestinians.
    • 2007: “Were there no Israel, there’d be no need for an America in the Middle East… The Palestinians have been given opportunity after opportunity and have rejected each one.”
  • John Kerry (as Senator and later Secretary of State pre-2016)
    • 2014: repeatedly blamed Palestinian “incitement” and “rejectionism” for failed talks, while defending Israeli settlement expansion.
  • Democratic Party platforms
    • 2004, 2008, 2012: zero mention of Palestinian human rights, zero criticism of Israeli occupation, repeated pledges of “unbreakable” support for Israel and condemnation of Palestinian terrorism.
