In both those cases, the targets were military or governmental, not civilian.

The point is the use of deliberate suicide. But all sides in every conflict the world has ever known have allowed themselves to kill civilians as well as soldiers.

In the Soviet Union suicide bombers of the World War II were called heroes as well. There were highly popularized examples of pilots exhausting all the armaments in the heat of the battle or having their own plane badly damaged and than ramming into the German planes or ground targets (tanks, etc.). Or cases of infantry men strapping grenades around the body and crawling under the German tanks. I don't know about any examples of glorifying any attacks of the soviets against German civilians.

Exactly the point. There is a difference between the kamikazie smacking into an American flattop (as much pain, horror and misery thatr causes) and one of the brainwashed human bombs entering into a cafe in Tel-Aviv.
The Pals may not care about the difference, but it's why the West bank has been reoccupied.
