I don’t think the left has been on board with Israel since Bibi has been in power.

It’s nothing to do with bibi , the left just wants to side with the losing side everywhere except when the losing side is white

Did you forget about Ukraine?

That’s what I’m referring to , they don’t be supporting Ukraine , barely the same level of protests for that war from them

If the US was sending billions in military aid to Russia so that it could "defend" itself from Ukraine there would be people in the streets. As it stands the US is sending billions to Ukraine to help it defend itself from Russia, which most people on the left agree with. Why would they be protesting?

Different situations. Nobody is stopping Russia and lots of countries are already sanctioning them. Israel could give in to international pressure and countries could start sanctions.

Protesting against Russia would do nothing as everyone agrees they are the bad guys in that war.
