I wonder if someone were to dress as an IDF soldier, use their ammunition, and go kill some Americans in Israel...how long would they get away with it? Like how long would America and the IDF just say "Ah that's just classic Israeli soldiers doing what they do best."

Our country looks weak and debased because of all this.
Maybe because we have become weak and debased, letting the shrillest voices of fear guide our politics for decades.
Israel investigates Israel finds no wrongdoing
Might as well. If they probed it they'd probably give the murderer a medal and a pension like they do with domestic war criminals.
Some more context from the article
Israeli forces have killed several US citizens in recent years, but the Biden administration has consistently rejected calls for independent investigations into those incidents as well.
For example, in 2022, Washington resisted demands for a US-led probe into the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh by the Israeli military in the West Bank, urging Israel to conduct its own probe instead.
Israeli authorities eventually dismissed the fatal shooting as an “accident” and refused to pursue criminal charges in the case.
“Israel does not do investigations; they do cover-ups,” Cindy Corrie, Rachel Corrie’s mother, told Democracy Now on Monday. An Israeli soldier crushed Rachel Corrie to death with a bulldozer in Rafah in 2003. Her family spent years lobbying multiple administrations to launch an independent, US-led probe — to no avail.
