I voted BLM, but I think it's a false premise and too generalizing because neither BLM nor Palestine are homogeneous groups of people. Not all of Palestine is pro-Hamas and not all elements of BLM support violence or defunding the police.

Black Lives Matter actually has a good intention, and I guess a lot of the rioters from 2020 were actually just a bunch of losers with no purpose in life rather than serious activists who would like to see things getting better for everyone. They certainly didn't do the cause a favor at all.

Yup, pretty much this. Latter is worse on average because Hamas has done much worse things than anyone marching/rioting in the name of BLM.

The choice at hand is indeed not a good comparison. I support Palestine becoming a sovereign state with a sovereign land not occupied by Israeli settlers. Ergo, a 2-state-solution. What I don't support is Hamas or any acts of terror. Hamas is a cancer and needs to be eliminated, but only via force, there needs to be a political solution that assures a peaceful future for Palestinians while at the same time the sovereignty of Israel is out of question. As for BLM, I support structural police and justice system reforms, not symbolic stuff or defunding the police.
