Re: US citizen fought with Israeli army in Gaza for months while ‘on tourist visa’

There’s a technicality since they’ll claim Palestine isn’t a country and Hamas is a terror group. The law bars people who are in the United States from joining foreign armies or launching their own wars against nations that are at peace with the United States.

“Whoever, within the United States, knowingly begins or sets on foot or provides or prepares a means for or furnishes the money for, or takes part in, any military or naval expedition or enterprise to be carried on from thence against the territory or dominion of any foreign prince or state, or of any colony, district or people with whom the United States is at peace, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years or both.”

It’s just disgusting to me that a dual national can take part in war crimes, by his own account, and then come back to the US and brag about it.
