If you don't believe Israel, you'll definitely believe someone that came from the Hamas!

There's a very fuzzy borderline between terrorist organizations Taliban by day and Da'esh by night. Da'esh is a temporary fixation because of their barbarity, but there's little difference between Da'esh and Hamas, Hezbollah, and any other terrorist group. A terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist, no matter how you paint them!

This is a matter of prioritization of effort.
ISIS is an Enemy with a big "E".
Hamas is an enemy with a little "e" that happens to be actively fighting a common Enemy, ISIS.
Ergo, public policy is to tamp down anti-Hamas rhetoric as we engage in a conflict where our interests coincide.

Having said that, Hamas is full of bad guys and are very focused on the destruction of Israel. They are in this because they fear losing their base of operations in the Bekaa Valley, and rightly so. Without Assad as a benefactor, Hamas is in big trouble,
