Here is what we do have. The primary United States federal law that mirrors the Geneva Conventions' protections against attacking and killing civilians is the War Crimes Act of 1996 (codified at 18 U.S. Code § 2441). Hegseth is in violation of those for extrajudicial killings. Full stop.

Pete Hegseth says Americans will be able to watch a Trump-approved firing-squad execution. If he follows through, the U.S. could join a disturbing club of countries known for public executions—including Iran, Afghanistan, and North Korea.

Hegseth Turns Trump’s Firing Squad Into a Public Spectacle
The Army has scheduled Nidal Hasan’s December 3 execution at Fort Hood — the first military execution since 1961 — while the Pentagon still will not explain how the firing squad will operate.

They were Israeli military. They were heavily armed. How can they have been overwhelmed? Couldn't they just call in a missile strike? Or run over the #Zionist terrorists in a tank? And if the terrorists were 'violent' no question. Bomb them to dust. Palestinian kids are shot for holding a stone.

I'd like to hear from someone w/ this acct. Pretty sure no one does & $250 is an insult. And finally, this is Hillary's idea who said every child born will have $5,000 to grow to be assured they could go on for higher education. But here's another idea education & healthcare is covered by the state!

The usual suspects
Accounts based in the United States, the United Kingdom, Israel, Russia, Poland and Italy spread false and recycled footage of the student protests between 1 and 6 October, joined by accounts posting in German and Spanish. They presented a movement for teachers and heated classrooms as a race war, an Islamist uprising or the fall of France. Several posts told French voters what the answer was. "They're in desperate need of law and order and a right-wing President," the QAnon-styled account The Q Eye wrote on 1 October, over a video it captioned "Youth thugs and students in France are starting to RIOT and VIOLENTLY ATTACK teachers."
NewsGuard, which tracks false news, found that accounts based in Africa and posing as US users, some using the names of celebrities such as Mel Gibson, spread fake protest videos on 3 October. It found that Matryoshka, a Russian operation, circulated about 20 fabricated stories about the protests dressed up as reports by AFP, Deutsche Welle and Le Monde. France votes for a new president in April 2027.

Why have so many people fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because corporations and billionaires rigged the system in their favor — and a bought-off political establishment let it happen. It's time to fix the system.

It's now up to $5,000. Meanwhile, we have $40 trillion in debt. Offering money for votes is election meddling and bribery, which are statutory crimes. Trump is a criminal. And he's so emboldened by alleged impunity suggested by the SCOTUS that he will continue to commit crimes with impunity.
