Sure. And we went out to demonstrate against that. There were huge demonstrations in Israel just last night (as there are every week but this was larger) trying to force the government to take the deal.

Netanyahu is terrible and his partners are worse. But unlike Hamas there are ways we can pressure them and also ways to remove them at most by the next election cycle. When people demonstrate in US campuses this strengthens Netanyahu who can then lump them as "useful idiots" and "antisemitism".

Notice the demonstrations to release the hostages, those are the exact anti Netanyahu demonstrations that work. Israelis can't lump them as "uninformed" or "antisemitism". The result is far more effective as it puts pressure on him to reach a deal while keeping the blame on Hamas as well.
