(note from Scott Creighton)

 

Benjamin Netanyahu (or Benzion Mileikowsky his real name) has been a U.S. citizen TWICE during his life (56-58 and '63-'68) which he relinquished to serve as Prime Minister in Israel. Would he qualify for violation of US Code 18/1091? I do not know. However, several U.S. figures possibly including the current president and Sec. of Defense and others might qualify as persons who conspire to commit acts of genocide considering the fact that they sent military advisors over to Israel early in this process to help the IDF plan and then carry out this campaign of genocide against the people of Palestine in Gaza.

 

This is why I believe that the State Department 'unequivocally' refuses to admit Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Because if they do... they themselves may very well be convicted of this crime. The punishment for such offenses is death or life in prison as death has certainly occurred in Gaza as a result of Netanyahu's genocidal campaign.
