Squeak, you are mistaken. Hashem certainly loves all Jews and indeed all of his creations. There are various sources for this. Let’s see what I can find.

“As Hashem is compassionate, so you also be compassionate. As He loves and cares for all his creatures, because they are His creatures and His children, and are related to Him because He is their Father; so you also love all His creatures as your brethren.” (R’ Hirsch, Horeb 72) (The Gemara says basically the same thing).

“Hashem loves His creations, and wants to give to them.” (Bilvavi).

I think there is also a discussion on Mi Yodea (StackExchange) documenting that Hashem loves all Jews individually.
