Because it describes genocide in ways you wouldn't like. It describes genocide in ways that are not applicable to Israel.

If they are calling for a cease fire, wouldn't it be more to the point to call out those who break cease fires?

Those kind of protests were actually grassroots and not professionally organized and funded.
