The Gaza family torn apart by IDF snipers from Chicago and Munich

“ “They’re thinking: ‘Oh I don’t think [I’ll get shot] because I’m wearing civilian clothes and I am not carrying a weapon and all that, but they were wrong,” said Raab, who majored in biology at the University of Illinois before joining the Israel Defense Forces. “That’s what you have snipers for.” “

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
- 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.
- It's time to renounce your faith.
  
  That's ignorant.
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.

  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
Fucking monstrous.
