I think the important point is that love and violence are not in opposition. If I save someone by harming or killing their attacker, that is love. I don't have to hate their attacker to do what needs to be done to protect them.
This idea can be employed to justify lots of things of varying morality. I don't think you can really mean it as a general principle.
Anything can be used by people of varying morality to justify anything, nothing anyone says can stop that. You're using your varying morality to protect Nazis right now.
It's addressing your assumption that the comments here are due to hatred.
