Hamas is not really a government at all though. They barely have any support in Gaza. Many years ago some election was held but there was only Hamas to choose from basically. I wouldn’t call Hamas in any way representing anyone else but themselves, and not the Palestinian people. Maybe more rather their Arab sponsors.
Hamas is a government with an army. Your argument is basically a double standard against the IDF. They have a word for that.

It’s not a double standard at all. Where did they say that it was ok for Hamas to harm civilians?
The lack of criticism against Hamas for using human shields makes it pretty apparent which group they care about holding to standards.
