I think the Unabomber was a homocide bomber. If you'd refer to 'suicide bombers' as 'homocide bombers', you'd easily miss the suicide aspect.
As for the cowardly aspect: compare the military power of the Palestinians to that of the Israelis. Far as I know, the Palestinians don't have any real military equipment, except for some grenade launchers and such.
I think it's really a measure of their despair to take such horrible measures.
Please understand I don't want to justify what they're doing, but I do think it may be the only thing they can do to fight back.
If they had the missiles and the rockets and the fighter-jets and the support of the US, it would be quite a different story.
This is a method to the world involved (as MikeyChalupa said)
and to get the Israeli ppl scared, hopefully into demanding the government would just leave them alone.
