In September 2005, a British court ordered the arrest of Doron Almog, a
retired Israeli general and later a Kennedy School fellow, for war crimes
in the Gaza Strip.  Almog evaded capture at Heathrow airport and fled to
Israel. Under international law, suspected war criminals such as Almog should
face justice, wherever the alleged offenses were committed.

Machover is speaking at the Kennedy School of Government on 19 October at 7:00
PM in Wiener Auditorium (Taubman Building) about his work in bringing General
Almog to justice.  Please join us on that Thursday afternoon at 1:00 PM at the
Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) for a more informal discussion about
Machover's instrumental role in the case.
