It's not? I think you're right after having read the law [1][2] it outlaws any expression of support.
In the case of a government organization like Hamas that's pretty absurd.
I don't agree with most of what they're doing, but I'd think that e.g. expressing support for their efforts to provide clean drinking water to their constituents wouldn't be illegal, but the text of the law seems to clearly state that it would be.
