Protesters again called for new elections, criticizing the government’s handling of the war against Hamas and hostage release negotiations.

Sounds like denouncing to me.

does.not sound like they denounced the genocide of a population. it sounds like they are just unhappy with the way the war is going.

Dont let perfect come in the way of good. Regardless of moral highground, this war coming to an end by protests is a plus.

OP is using this to say Israelis don't support the genocide, but they overwhelmingly do. That's why there will be another war a few years down the road, Netanyahu or no. It's like appeasement didn't stop Hitler or how giving up Ukraine won't stop Putin. They will be back. Israel has been giving Palestinians hell for as long as it exists

I think it’s important to see. It would be the same as Americans protesting for replacement of Bush during the two front war in Iraq and Afghanistan, six months after 9/11. I attended a campus protest against Bush/Cheney in 2003, so I feel like I can relate. I support them for standing against Netanyahu.

They're denouncing Netanyahu and his government for not getting the hostages back.

Not the same as denouncing the genocide.
