These are not, in general, people opposed to the offensive. These are people angry that the incursion on Oct 7 was allowed to happen, and that the hostages haven’t yet been freed. They’re not calling for a pullout, ceasefire, or two state solution. This was closer to a Bomb Iran rally than a Free Palestine rally.
That’s simply not true. Netanyahu has had a 15% approval rating since January. Only the far right minority still supports him. The left has been protesting him since March, prior to the Iranian consulate attack.

Right, but they're not disapproving because he's doing too much genocide, they're disapproving because they think he isn't doing enough genocide. At least from the coverage I've seen on the ground in Israel of Israelis.
Again, a very broad and incorrect assumption. The far left, 23% percent of citizens, believe in a one state solution. The drive for Zionism has been waning in Israel with the passing of older generations. The population of Israel is 9.5M people. The tens of thousands are simply protesting the killing of innocent people.
