The Bible states that God is not MERELY love, but also (and even more so - considering the vast majority of rebelliously-defiant and disobedient who He will burn in Hell forever): hate:
Psalm 26:5 I hate the company of evildoers, and I will not sit with the wicked.
Psalm 97:10 The LORD loves those who hate evil; He preserves the lives of His saints; He delivers them away from the hand of the wicked.
Psalm 101:3 I will not set before my eyes anything that is base. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cleave to me.

Psalm 119:113 I hate double-minded men, but I love Your law.
Psalm 119:128 Therefore I direct my steps by all Your precepts; I hate every false way.

Psalm 139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies.
Proverbs 8:13 The fear of the LORD is hatred against (not "of") evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.
Ecclesiastes 3:8 [there is]...a time to love, and a time to HATE; a time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 9:1 But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hate man does not know. Everything before them is vanity....
Isaiah 61:8 For I the LORD love justice, I hate robbery and wrong; I will faithfully give them their recompense, and I will make an everlasting covenant with [those who love justice].
Jeremiah 12:8 My heritage has become to me like a lion in the forest, she has lifted up her voice against me; therefore I hate her.

Revelation 2:6 Yet this you have, you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
From the above-stated references, the reader can readily detect that this webauthor is leaning a little heavier on the side of righteous hate and not love, because of the evil one-sidedness of warped and twisted diabolical devils imposing imbalanced but presently-popular buzzwords and buzzphrases involving contemporary legal statutes and customs, sometimes perversely mouthed by demonic media and their mindlessly-demented monkey-see-monkey-do morlocks (excuse me, you fellow young-Earth creationists).
Therefore, though there are "hate crimes" but also equally-wicked love crimes -- the latter of which are committed and not "performed" whenever the impenitent wicked are forgiven, paroled, pardoned, and set free to commit and not "perform" more destruction and genocide.
Does the LORD discriminate as to who He loves, and who He hates? You already read it previously in the Scripture verses quoted. So He is not injustly non-discriminatory and non-conditionally inclusive, even though:
Matthew 5:45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
On the other hand:
Second Samuel 5:8 And David said on that day, "Whoever would smite the Jebusites, let him get up the water shaft to attack the lame and the blind, who are hated by David's soul." Therefore it is said, "The blind and the lame shall not come into the house."
Second Samuel 22:41 You did make my enemies turn their backs to me, those who hated me, and I destroyed them.
Esther 9:5 So the Jews smote all their enemies with the sword, slaughtering, and destroying them, and did as they pleased to those who hated them.

John 15:25 It is to fulfill the word that is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'
John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them ("them" including Jerry Falwell and George W. Bush and Christian-fundamentalist religious right) because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Romans 9:13 As it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
Titus 3:3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by men and hating one another;
Hebrews 1:9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond Your comrades."
The Creator's created phenomena displays His awesome and consistent benevolence (thus initial love) for His human creatures, with just the right amount and dependable consistency of gravity, composition of atmosphere, convenient air pressure, intensity and duration of sunlight, distance from the Sun and composition of it, size of the Earth, protective magnetosphere diverting away harmful ionic solar radiation, nucleonic cohesion preventing things from falling apart, reliability of electricity, stability of chemicals, perfectly-orbiting stars and planets avoiding eventual cataclysmic collisions, compatible oceans and moderate weather temperatures, tides, evaporation into clouds and condensation from clouds, photosynthesis, floating instead of sinking ice on lakes, stability of rock mantle crust under molten-core lava, controllable animals, antibodies, multi-purpose body parts, resurrection-like recuperation of wounds and recovery against sicknesses, etc.
That Divine love has been given to humanity in general, and also to individual humans who respond - whether with their own non-conditional love or instead non-conditional hate, which in their case can legitimately be described as non-conditional subjection and compliance, or instead non-conditional defiance and non-cooperative disobedience.
When a man and woman get married, they pledge their permanent sexual loyalty to each other.
The newly-married couple do not say: "I will generally love you, but once in a while I will have an adulterous affair (and perhaps acquire AIDS or other VD) with a few others here and there (who I might cause to get pregnant out of wedlock)."
An understanding wife or concubine can live with a husband having multiple wives or concubines of his own alone....but she will not and should not allow him erotically consorting with women not presently married to him.
All throughout Scripture, many references prove that idolatrous adultery will not temporally nor eternally be tolerated by the once-loving God.
It is noteworthy that there is NO condemnation from God portrayed in the entire Bible against the patriarchs who had multiple wives simultaneously as sexual spouses (e.g. Lamech, Abraham, Jacob, Elkanah, David, etc.) and children by those wives.
Genesis 22:24 Moreover, his concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Genesis 35:22 While Israel dwelt in that land Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
Genesis 36:12 (Timna was a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau's son; she bore Amalek to Eliphaz.) These are the sons of Adah, Esau's wife.

First Chronicles 2:46 Ephah also, Caleb's concubine, bore Haran, Moza, and Gazez; and Haran was the father of Gazez.
First Chronicles 7:14 The sons of Manasseh: Asriel, whom his Aramean concubine bore; she bore Machir the father of Gilead.
Even in the New Testament, harems were disallowed only for certain people:
First Timothy 3:2 Now a bishop must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, dignified, hospitable, an apt teacher,
First Timothy 3:12 Let deacons be the husband of one wife, and let them manage their children and their households well;
But for women, representing the Bride of Christ, multi-husband polygamy is both illegal and sinful bigamy:
Ezekiel 16:32 Adulterous wife, who receives strangers instead of her husband!
Matthew 19:9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for [her] unchastity, and marries another, commits adultery."
Romans 7:3 Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she belongs to another man while her husband is alive......
Second Corinthians 11:2 I feel a divine jealousy for you, for I betrothed you to Christ to present you as a pure bride to her one husband.
The so-called "traditional" definition of marriage as being a [sexually-oriented] union of "one man and ONE woman" precludes the [legitimate] possibility of multiple-wife polygamy for husbands....again, something contrary against not merely the ceremonial but rather the moral laws of Scripture:
Genesis 4:19 And Lamech took two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Genesis 16:3 So, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her maid, and gave her to Abram her husband as a wife.

Genesis 32:22 The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
Deuteronomy 21:15 "If a man has two wives, the one loved and the other disliked, and they have borne him children, both the loved and the disliked, and if the first-born son is hers that is disliked,
Deuteronomy 21:16 then on the day when he assigns his possessions as an inheritance to his sons, he may not treat the son of the loved as the first-born in preference to the son of the disliked, who is the first-born,
Deuteronomy 21:17 but he shall acknowledge the first-born, the son of the disliked, by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the first issue of his strength; the right of the first-born is his.
First Samuel 1:2 He had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

Esther 2:14 In the evening she went, and in the morning she came back to the second harem in custody of Sha-ashgaz the king's eunuch who was in charge of the concubines; she did not go in to the king again, unless the king delighted in her and she was summoned by name.
Ecclesiastes 2:8 I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and provinces; I got singers, both men and women, and many concubines, man's delight.
Daniel 5:3 Then they brought in the golden and silver vessels which had been taken out of the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines drank from them.
First Timothy 3:2 Now a bishop [NOT everyone] must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, dignified, hospitable, an apt teacher,
First Timothy 3:12 Let deacons [NOT everyone] be the husband of one wife, and let them manage their children and their households well;
Titus 1:5 This is why I left you in Crete, that you might amend what was defective, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you,
Titus 1:6 if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of being profligate or insubordinate.
Now, for the love-not-hate flip side:
First Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;
Oh oh. Remember that God is a jealous God? So Love is not? jealous, according to First Corinthians 13:4 - another one of those "turn the other cheek" and "love your enemies" and "do not resist one who is evil" verses?
Revelation 22:11 Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy."

Zephaniah 1:18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of the LORD. In the fire of His jealous wrath, all the earth shall be consumed; for a full, yes, sudden end He will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.
Zephaniah 3:8 "Therefore wait for Me," says the LORD, "for the day when I arise as a witness. For My decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them My indignation, all the heat of My anger; for in the fire of My jealous wrath all the earth shall be consumed.
Matthew 13:41 The Son of man will send His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers,
Matthew 13:42 and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.
Matthew 18:8 And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to enter life maimed or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire.
Matthew 25:41 Then He will say to those at His left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels;

Revelation 20:10 ....and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night to the ages of the ages.
Revelation 15 and if any one's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Is it not clear that God is the epitome and dictionary definition of "hate" according to the references above?
If those verses do not adequately and thoroughly describe "hate," we do not know what "hate" really is, and the word is then quite meaningless.
