The Israeli lawyer who filed "war crimes" charges in Britain against a former IDF general is now targeting Israel's ambassador - for warning the general not to enter the country.
Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Doron Almog was the O.C. (Operating Commander) of the IDF Southern Command when he retired in 2003. He boarded a plane for Britain this past Sunday, to raise money for a charitable cause. En route, Almog (pictured) was informed by Israel's Ambassador to Britain, Tzvi Hefetz, that the charges had been filed, and that Almog could expect to be arrested upon landing.
Gen. Almog decided not to alight from the plane, and remained aboard until it turned around and landed again in Israel.
An Israeli-citizen lawyer living in Britain, Daniel Machover, filed the charges. The indictment states that Gen. Almog perpetrated war crimes against Palestinian Authority Arabs during the course of his army career. Machover is known to be a long-time vocal critic of Israel's policy against Palestinian terrorism.
Justice Minister Tzippy Livni said yesterday that it is an "unacceptable" situation whereby "Israeli soldiers cannot set foot on British soil." She said that Israel would provide legal aide for anyone persecuted in this manner, and that she intends to pursue a solution for this problem with the European countries.
Atty. Machover is a spokesman and founder-member of Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights, a group of British lawyers that has written reports against the Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. The organization also that provides assistance to PA lawyers and organizations in legal matters against Israel.
Machover says he plans to sue Ambassador Hefetz for warning Almog in advance, and for boarding the plane to discuss the matter with Almog. The lawyer also intends to file additional charges against other senior IDF generals, including Chief of Staff Halutz and former Chief of Staff Yaalon, and have them categorized as war criminals.

IDF general escapes arrest by London police's anti-terrorist unit
This guy turned on his own people, Thats how low a Lawyer can go. If he were in America he would be working for the ACLU.
Cue Mr. Rogers:
OK, Mr. Machover, can you say "diplomatic immunity?"
Nice try and thanks for playing...
Translation of this explanation of the motives of this self-hating Jew:
Israel should expect terrorism because they are occupying the land of the poor, ancient, downtrodden and defenseless Palestinians who were invented, as a people, after the '67 war.
I hope that this clarifies his motives.
Anti-semetic?
That overused threat word.
