The weapons of the IDF aren't just for show, they are an enforcement tool and they are used.
I didn't see any Palestinians with full-auto weapons demonstrating their firepower.
You, being an IDF hasbarist, know the absurdity of supposing that the PA could ever act like the IDF is acting here, for example in pre-1967 Israel.
There were no false accusations: there was just another typical "incident" where the IDF couldn't stop itself from demonstrating its power to suppress Palestinians and anyone who would seek to help them in their plight. The IDF is totally high on that power, and it's a power derived from systemic racism.
And by the way: The racism at issue is enshrined in Israel's law, pelsar. And I know you "didn't ask that", pelsar. It's just a *fact* that I like to reiterate when dealing with hasbarists.
