In general it isn't all Palestinian's just really Hamas that have used suicide bombers and such. Though most of the people support them, since they got elected into the government. Hamas is doing a crappy job as well. Can't pay wages or keep a decent order around. Instead of taking what little money they have left and helping the people, they rather instead send that money to make more rockets to fire at Israel. I really do doubt that with the shortages in money, they will be able to stay in power for a while.

Well duh.
Of course if they were purposely targeting civilians it would be a war crime. However, I didn't see the Palestinian Prime Minister saying that, he just called 'em war crimes, period. And, if he's gonna call them war crimes because they target civilians, he's got a lot of explaining to do about his organization. But I think we would agree on that.
About the suicide bombers: I thought Islamic Jihad did some too? I don't know about Hezbollah, I guess they may be more into rocket attacks.
