Assalamu Alaikum
Only because we cannot understand the wisdom behind eternal punishment does not mean it is not just. As the word 'just' is itself based on man made laws of morality and the man made distinction of right and wrong, and it will not be correct to apply the same interpretation of our feeble minds to judge the actions of our Creator, which we shouldn't be doing either way.
Since Allah Ta'ala is the sole Lord and He has complete mastery and ownership of His creation, He can do whatever He wishes. His sending people into the hell-fire will be not due to the lack of His love but due to His justice. Once again we should always bear in mind that Allah Ta‘ala is al-Hakīm (the most-Wise), al-Adl (the most-Just) and Ar-Rahman (the most merciful) and verily His Mercy prevails over His wrath.
Lastly, and very importantly, we should not ponder over the matters which cannot be comprehended by our limited knowledge and understanding, and rather spend our time and efforts in fulfilling our duties towards Allah ta'ala as we will be the ones questioned and not the other way round.
"He (Allaah) will not be questioned about what He does (because He is above all and everything He does is perfect, appropriate and above questioning), but they (people) will be questioned (about the actions they carried out in this world)"
Surah Anbiyaa (21:23)
