Fair enough.

Because Hamas wants to bring about a state that wants to genocide the Jews. Do you think they love the Jewish people?
No, but there's nuance. Hamas is not worth supporting under any circumstance. I believe the Arabs and Muslims in Gaza and the West Bank should be able to live peacefully with all non Arabs and non Muslims in the region. Hamas does not want that. Hamas does not want peace with non Muslims, especially Jews.
You think the Taliban and Pakistan and Afghanistan are... Arab? Why don't you believe that they are Pashtuns?
Look at Rojava in Kurdistan (you did say "all" Muslims, no taking that back). It's like saying the Christian religion is the reason the crusades were bad and not because they were violent men with horrible ideas. Innocent people worship innocently. I don't like jihadists or Islamic nationalists or caliphates either, but I at least don't attribute that to Muslims entirely, just the stupid ones. Most people don't understand the difference between those who just want to be Muslim (look at Islamic people in Kurdistan and, yes, even Israel who has many religions living together relatively peacefully to the US) and those who want jihad and intifadas and Islam-directed oppression via the state. That's because you believed the propaganda.
There are religious nuts in Islam. They are jihadists. Hamas was the suicide bombers back in the 2000s. The taliban, ISIS, ISIL, Al-queda, the Houthis, Al-Shabaab, etc etc. They are all Islamic nationalists. It's like seeing an American and assuming they're transphobic just because MAGA is.
Give me some hope for me at least, maybe I'll turn out decent 😔
Yeah the other commenter mentioned that above and I don't disagree, fair point.
