You're in Israel. They may actually have to use them some day. If my local PD had them I would be pissed.
What possible use can the Ashdod police have for belt-fed machine guns?
Before continuing, consider the following facts:
1. The Army already possesses emergency stockpiles of every possible weapon from AK-47s to M16s to FALs to Garand rifles and M14s, enough to arm every man, woman, and child in the country, and probably arm the dogs, too.
2. Never since 1948 was an enemy offensive allowed into central Israel.
3. There is no country today capable of a ground invasion of ISrael. Egypt and Jordan we're at peace with, and the Syrian military is completely outnumbered, outclassed, and outgunned by the IDF. Even infiltrations by suicide bombers were brought to a near-halt by the Army and the Border Guard.
