If you don't like the protests, that's fine. But be honest in describing your concern. It is inflammatory to call them pro-Hamas when their protests are directed to the excessive bombing of Palestinians, not to supporting Hamas.
I know a number of both Israelis and Palestinians - including many who know both Israeli hostages and Palestinians who have been killed. With only a single possible exception, every single one believes the Netanyahu's response is grossly disproportionate to the Oct 7 attack, and the Israelis, in particular, feel Netanyahu is more focused on vengeance than on recovering the hostages. The one of my friends who is the possibe exception is advocating for release of the hostages, and is close enough to know some of them, but have remained silent as to Netanyahu's response.
