Sir Harold Alfred MacMichael GCMG DSO (15 October 1882 - 19 September 1969) was a British colonial administrator. In 1934 he became High Commissioner of the British Mandate of Palestine and was blamed for sending at least 768 Jewish refugees aboard MV Struma to their deaths. During his tenure in Palestine, MacMichael was the target of seven unsuccessful assassination attempts, mainly by the Lehi Group (the Stern Gang).
