It is terrorism. No if and buts. They are launching rockets with the sole purpose of killing as many civilians that they can... both Jews and Muslims. At least the Israeli bombs are targeted at military targets.. the rocket launch sites.
As to the bulldozing of houses... a house is just a house. You can rebuild. Its an object. There is no comparison whatsoever between knocking down a house and suicide bomber (which is a terrorist act that Hamas supports). One is a punishment and the other is murder.

But I think you're thinking of the home demolitions in your North American context and fail to see how devastating it is for those in the Palestinian territories. In the Middle East a home is usually passed on for generations, housing entire families at once usually. It's not just a building that can be rebuilt easily. Add on to that the complications of obtaining building permits from the Israeli authorities as well as the poverty a lot of these people live in and you can see how absolutely devastating this can be for a family.
