Or rather why do people care about Hamas at all? Their activities are contained in the Middle East, they aren't the West's problem, , they are mostly israel's problem and their main goal is to get Palestinian land back , so they are mostly Palestinian nationalists. Im not sure what is the problem with that exactly. The only people who should logically have a problem with hamas are israeli shills but even they should only really blame themselves because Netenyahu admitted that he helped to fund hamas.

because the situation is a mess, and declaring someone an enemy is easier than trying to figure shit out, especially when you're not the one who will have to do the fighting.
they're fundamentalists, and their extremists do oppose some western values, even the real western values, not just the woke ones.
they have reasons to be hostile to the west because of the west's support to Israel(and the resulting acts of hostility).
that support seems to result in a general strategy of keeping the Muslim world divided. often through active, violent and not really covert interference.
some Muslim extremists are expansionists, believing the world should submit to their way of life. the divide-and-conquer strategy often encourages these groups, as they tend to also fight other middle eastern powers.
if extremism happens to result in terror events in the west, it constitutes a good excuse to roll back those pesky constitutional barriers we have.
hence migration from those territories into the west is encouraged, in order to increase the chance of the terror event proc. Which would, as an added bonus, increase hostility towards muslims, and support for their current big enemy. creating a positive feedback loop into some of the previous points.
so yeah, building a big beautiful wall around the whole region, and letting yhem sort it out without further interference, would probably be to almost everyone's benefit.
