I'd highly suggest you do a little searching of your own as there are many sources from the past two years now that include plenty of Muslims, both individuals and members of their state governments, that have condemned the violence on both sides. Notably some are placing more blame on Hamas, others on Israel.
Anyways here's a single link for you just since you asked for a single message, but there are plenty more for you to see, you just have to look.

Like everything else, there's obviously nuance. I also condemn the actions of Hamas on Oct 7th but the retaliation by Israel of carrying out a literal genocide in Gaza and being responsible tens of thousands of deaths of civilians is vile. It's not proportional, it's not humane and they're literally starving people to death.
At the base level this is about treating fellow humans as people worthy of dignity and respect. Not like they're insects to be exterminated.
