Don't know about the US, but you can definitely get locked up for war crimes in Germany, no matter where and in what capacity you carried them out

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Unless you're an IDF soldier.
His parents, who still live in the US, support him.

I had to stop reading this halfway through. It made me feel sick.
As a Jew I am deeply deeply ashamed for what is being done, supposedly in my name. As a Brit I am ashamed for what my government has enabled.
You know this has little to do with your faith. This is politics, not religion.
Fucking monstrous.
Raab, a former varsity basketball player from a Chicago suburb who became an Israeli sniper, concedes he knew that. He says he shot Salem simply because he tried to retrieve the body of his beloved older brother Mohammed.
“It’s hard for me to understand why he [did that] and it also doesn’t really interest me,” Raab says in a video interview posted on X. “I mean, what was so important about that corpse?”
Those guys left Europe/USA to kill some Arabs, they will never face any consequences from those war crimes and it's just disgusting, I hate this world so much
Wooooooooooh. They better not come back to the USA. I guarantee you they won’t last long once they come back civilian life. These men will shoot themselves from the demons that will follow them.
This person is a fucking sociopath.
I mean, you know his name and the city he lives in. Just because our government won't do anything doesn't mean he won't be punished.
Social media and public records can get you any additional information you'd need.
Daniel Raab from Naperville Illinois
You mean Daniel Raab, the war criminal and admitted murderer of civilians, from Naperville Illinois?
True, and Israel's hunt for german nazi's in foreign jurisdictions sets some precedent in handling that sort of thing.
Hopefully someone finds where they live and enacts some kinetic vigilante justice one night. I for one hope that the justice happens in front of their families so they too can experience what their loved ones put the Palestinians through.
Exactly. Then laugh at the family for being so concerned about a corpse
