20. And Al Aqsa could say the same thing as they go into the Tel Aviv street

They can say that an IDF commander lives there, or they can say nothing. The residents of the street don't have the power to repel the tank. Now they can call the IDF, and the Palestinians have no one to call, but that fact does not really throw the IDF's actions into a favorable light, nor does help your argument that those who are attacked by a stronger entity should kneel and meekly accept their fate.
