It doesn't have to be extreme. It can be a call to end the genocidal apartheid oppression that has been Israel. But as I understand it he called for "death to the IDF", not even death to Israel, and clarified it as a call for an end to the organization that is perpetrating Israel's genocide of Palestinians. There's nothing extreme about this. It's about protecting people from the most extreme brutality.
It also depends on whether you take the word "death" literally, or simply meaning the end of. For example, when people say "death to America!" they aren't necessarily advocating for the death of every single American, but rather the collapse of the United States in its current form.
