I have to go with the Israeli philosophy that there are no civilians. They may
not wear a uniform or carry a gun, but they form the support network for the
military effort... hence Dresden bombings and Japanese cities. Beyond this
even, it gets down to psychological warfare and destroying the enemies will to
fight.
Oh yes, and I seem to remember that the Nazis were heavily bombing London and
other cities in the UK, then later, sending buzz bombs across the channel. I
guess that was OK?
