No, it's far older than Hamas. Do your research.
By the way, getting rid of Hamas won't change anything, in fact, it could end up far worse for Israel if Hamas ends up disbanding. There is going to be a power vacuum, and simply put, the only group that is capable of filling that void is not Fatah, but the group "Islamic Jihad" who're the second largest group in Gaza. Right now, Hamas is the only one keeping even more radical groups from coming to power.
That's not to mention that Israel would end up having to occupy Gaza once again in order to keep it stable, on top of the fact that this would pretty much kill a two state solution altogether.
As for condemning Hamas, people are, but the problem is that no one is condemning Israel for using clearly made up, or lame excuses for the death of civilians. Let me remind you, out of the 1200 dead, over 800 are civilians, and if we were to accept Israel's excuse of human shields being used, I highly doubt that over 800 Palestinians were used as human shields. A few incidents seem plausible, but when the bodies start piling up, you have to question the excuses that're being thrown around.

Anyways, I'll reiterate, this has been a diplomatic disaster for Israel, there's even less support for Israel's offensive globally than there ever was before the conflict even began.
1. Islamic Jihad is moderate
2. Israel can't reoccupy Gaza so they make up a story of some 'radicals' seizing power
3. If there was an AQ substitute for Gaza Israel would love that, they would kill Palestinians and give Israel an excuse to attack Gaza
