If you think a soldier killing civilians during an occupation and a "tourist" killing them not during an occupation are comparable, then you're quite mistaken.
The soldier will possibly face the death penalty, just like a "tourist" could face the same from his own country (depending on whether or not his home country has the DP).
Despite this eventual equivalency in punishment, a soldier isn't tried in civilian courts, whereas a "tourist" usually is.
Outside war, soldiers are tried in civilian courts, this is not wartime.
Or if it were wartime he should be prosecuted as a war criminal.
That's what he was governed by. That's what he will be tried by.
The UCMJ applies to military personnel both in and out of war.
You have the answer, now give that particular rant a rest.
Fuck Israel
