Some of them are anti-war and want a ceasefire. Some of them are "anti-colonial" and want the destruction of Israel. You certainly don't see any of them demanding that Hamas accept the peace plan that Egypt floated on Christmas.
I realize there is selective reporting and so until I see some polls of protesters (on the model of Rojas and Heaney), I won't speculate on the ratios of anti-war vs anti-Israel, but I suspect some people who started as the former got radicalized into the latter through groupthink.
Definitely seen cases in my personal circles of people saying dumb things, then backtracking into a more reasonable position when pushed a bit, so I agree with that view.
