Good guess but no.

Maybe Osse speaking to the Elves
You hate me, though you should love me, - because of his evil temper sometimes, but he actually did help many times I killed many of you, that I see, - causing storms and shipwrecks but without me you wouldn't be there. - firstly, he helped Ulmo carry the Elves to Aman on Tol Eressea, and the Noldor left Aman by using the ships of the Teleri, who had learned about building such ships from Osse I know you still look this way. - towards the Sea Blame your kinsmen, I say. - the Noldor I guess I know it's not very good, but it's the only guess I had. If it is wrong, I would appreciate a hint...

Okay, maybe this is quite daring to go that high, but inspired by TM mentioning Ossë and also thinking of the recent Mac's game, what about Eru to the rest of the Númenoreans, who were left on the island after Pharazon left? Or, rethinking it, maybe just Manwë, since it was not Eru who "killed" anyone until the Fall, and after the Fall, there would probably be no one to tell this to.
You hate me, though you should love me, - Of course they hate him, though they should love him. I killed many of you, that I see, - referring to the people dying due to lightnings, maybe also to Pharazon, though he didn't actually die. but without me you wouldn't be there. - Of course they wouldn't. I know you still look this way. - to the West Blame your kinsmen, I say. - Meaning Ar-Pharazon and all these who caused the island to become wicked. Or, if you take Mac's game as a true story, then it might be Eru to the islanders - it would make perfect sense

No and no. You're quite close sometimes though.
 I'll give you the hint. The "I" of the riddle would probably not have any reasons to say this or to defend his/her/its actions to the "you" ie the "you should love me" is not to mean that the "I" wants the "you" to love him/her/it or that he/she/it actually cares, but to point out he/she/it is not that bad or that some horrible things are not only his/her/its doing.

Maedhros?
You hate me, though you should love me, - many were upset with the Sons of Feanor I killed many of you, that I see, - SoF killed many elves, orcs and humans alike but without me you wouldn't be there. - without the SoF the valar wouldn't have came and the rest of the Noldor too I know you still look this way. - many will never forget SoF's actions Blame your kinsmen, I say. - Maedhros urged to blame his brothers and his father for their actions, not his
