The IDF General evading arrest in the UK in this 2005 UK Channel 4 News Report is touring Australia this week raising funds for Israel, described by the organising group as “one of Israel’s great heroes”.
The Australian Centre for International Justice have petitioned the Australian Government to cancel his visa, presenting a dossier of his alleged war crimes:
“A detailed dossier of Doron Almog’s involvement in a number of alleged grave breaches has been provided to the Australian Government. They include:
1. The murder of three boys, Mohamad Al Madhoun aged 16, Ahmad Banat aged 15 and Mohamad Lobad aged 17, killed as a result of injuries inflicted by flechette shells fired by an Israeli tank. Flechettes are pointed, fin-stabilized steel projectiles contained inside artillery shells. The boys’ bodies were mutilated and one of them had been run over by a tank.
2. In January 2002, Israeli bulldozers flattened 59 houses in the Rafah refugee camp in Gaza. Residents fled their homes in heavy rain, most losing all their possessions in the process. Among those made homeless were a number of children who were terrified and traumatised by the demolitions.
3. The mass murder committed on 22 July 2002, when a one tonne bomb was dropped on Gaza City close to midnight in an extrajudicial assassination against Saleh Shehadah, that killed 14 civilians including eight children and injuring over 150 more.
4. The killing of Noha Shukri al Makadma, who was nine months into her pregnancy at the time of her death on 3 March 2003, during another round of punitive home demolitions at al-Bureij refugee camp. Noha’s neighbours tried to carry her to the nearest clinic but they were fired upon by the Israeli military and were forced to leave her in the street where she later died before an ambulance was able to reach her. “
