Why are only a fraction of a percent of Americans members of the military? Simply supporting Hamas doesn't make you a member of it.
The degree to which Palestinians "support Hamas" is an open question. I assume most Palestinians support some things Hamas does, and don't support others. It's not a binary, either/or thing.
But for the last 20 years, everyone in Palestine has had the opportunity to become offical members of Hamas, and 98% have refused to do that. My question still remains, why do you think that is?
I understand you have very little knowledge of the historical or cultural situation over there - other than what you google on the fly - that you tend to process information into binaries like an insect does with pheromones, and what info you do have is filtered through extremely tendentious sources, so whatever answer you give is bound to be a hot take, but I'm nevertheless in your what your hot take is....why do the overwhelming majority of Palestinians refuse to join Hamas, for going on 20+ years now?
