Reply #12: how do you know they were all "civilians"?

I don't think any of the killing on either side is justified, but the people on the Israeli side seem to think it's okay to do targeted assassinations and kill tens or hundreds of innocent Palestinian civilians in the process as long as one or a few "militants" are killed or at least were the targets. So, if the Palestinians target buses that are used by contract to transport IDF troops and innocent civilians are killed, how is it any different?

The whole media reporting in the U.S. seems to be highly misleading(that's certainly no revelation) by leaving out the fact that the buses transport troops.

I don't think any of the killing is justified on either side. But, it seems that the Israelis, in general, seem to think that their killing is justified and the Palestinians are "just barbarians who only target innocent civilians". It seems the media is doing no favors to the Israeli people by failing to bring out reality or the truth.
