    I’ll focus only on a few big points.
    Turkey also bombs the SDF, which isn’t considered a terrorist group by anyone (other than Turkey and Qatar maybe).

    Even the PKK, which is the worst out of the Kurdish groups, only calls for an autonomous area in Turkey, and not for the annihalation of Turkey or for the death of all Turks.

    The Kurds were oppressed and persecuted for a very long time under Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran. Their neighbours all want them gone or dead (although some would be fine “just” with forced assimilation), similarily to how they view / have viewed Israel and Jews.

    Kurds barely get any support, even from the USA.
    Hamas has the support of many states and groups all over the region.

    I’d say these are quite different situations.
