The difference between Israeli gunship attacks, and Palestinian suicide attacks is The Israelis don't target innocent people!
When you speak of "non-Western countries fight against oppression" if you are suggesting Israel "oppresses" the palestinian people please explain how?
Many Palestinians live in Israel, and are free to do as they please. They are not persecuted in any way, however, if an Israeli even tries to walk down a local street in the palestinian teritory, they are often violently murdered. School's in Israel promote racial tolerance, where as many schools in the Palestinian territory promote violence towards Israelis.
Further, when Jerusalem was under palestinian control, all Jews were forbidden to enter the Temple Mount / Dome of the Rock areas, where as under Israeli rule all religions are free to see all sights in the city.
Considering their military power, I often shudder to think what would happen if the Israelis hated the Palestinians as much as the Palestinians hate the Israelis. (and America, for that matter.)
Who's oppressing who?
