You're dramatically over-simplifying the situation and the history. Of course the Israeli government played a huge role in creating and helping Hamas. One aim was to fracture Palestinian society and keep the Gazans from joining up with the West Bank, originally to prevent unity and, believe it or not, socialism - and of course.....a Palestinian state. The original plan was to force Gaza to unite around as violent a group as possible so as to help the Zionists smear ALL Gazans as inherently violent. See: the present situation.
Eventually Hamas became a much more broad socio-political movement and started providing government services in the absence of any other effective group or organization and in those ways is unimpeachably a force for good. I personally agree with the spirit of your comment that Hamas or anyone else has every right to resist their occupation and imprisonment with any and all means including violence. But denying the Israeli role in the creation and cultivation of Hamas is like denying the US role in creating "Al Qaeda." And no, that's not a value judgement or an equivalency in any aspect other than the role of creation.
From the link above: It is sometimes argued that while Israel initially supported the creation of Hamas, the Islamist group got out of control and Israeli officials came to regret their support (the “blowback theory”).
While this is certainly true for some Israeli officials and for the Israeli population affected by Hamas rockets and terrorist attacks, it is not true for Israeli grand strategists, as the quotes below make clear: for them, Hamas has continued to serve its intended purpose even after the Oslo Accords in 1993 and after Israel’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005.
For the grand strategists, the presence of Hamas in the remaining Palestinian territories might provide, one day, the necessary pretext for a “final solution” to the Palestinian question.
I think you might need to check your sources of information.
