Cenk, you miss the 3rd option:

Israel doesn't target civilians, but doesn't care (much) if they happen to be in the way.

The same can be seen IMO in America's actions in Iraq, I don't think the US government targeted Iraqi civilians, but neither do they care that several hunderd thousand Iraqis are dead and 5 million lost their homes
