What the US military has done, more than once, is punish our own for violations of the rules of War.
Can you account for a single time that this has happened with a member of the Israeli military.
One recent event comes to mind; when an Israeli Tank Commander gunned down civilians, because he mistakenly thought a curfew was still in place. It would be immaterial if a curfew was in place or not. It is a War Crime to intentionally shoot unarmed civilians.
Has the Israeli military Court Martialed this Tank Commander? Will he be put in Prison when he is courtmartialed.
It is true that we will not allow our military to be tried in an International Court, and this is as it should be (because of multiple reasons), but we do Court Martial and imprison our own, when we learn of a War Crime.
