I think, based on language, that his "flag" was neither advocating or promoting genocide, but condemning it (in the most offensive way possible).
That said, I believe I see what you're getting at. I think it's how you view the intent in this case, as I don't think his intention was to promote hate against Israeli and Jewish civilians in general, but rather to condemn their government while being as generally upsetting as possible (given the sensitivity of the matter).
