#Amalek
This is what CNN is publishing even before the Ellisons come in

“Obliterate the memory of Amalek.”

“Remember what Amalek did to you.”

Okay, so, like—let me know when you pick which one.

First, Amalek is the enemy WITHIN OURSELVES. We're supposed to eradicate Amalek from WITHIN OURSELVES.

Second, Amalek is the only exception to the commandments against erasure and killing.

Equating Zohran Mamdani with “Amalek” constitutes stochastic terrorism. It will be heard by some ears as license to kill.
Ex-Israeli UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan addresses Mayor Zohran Mamdani: “We survived Amalek, we survived Hamas, we defeated Iran, we overcame Pharaoh — we will overcome Zohran Mamdani as well.”

His comments came at an event at Park East Synagogue on the day of the Israel Parade:

That's why THIS SAME PAPER echoed Netanyahu who said Palestinians were Amalek (even though Netanyahu doesn't believe in Judaism as a religion). But if Amalek is Iran now, that means Palestine WASN'T Amalek AND YOU GENOCIDED THEM ANYWAY.

So what, then? Oops? What the FUCK!?

Speaking in Hebrew to an Israeli audience, Netanyahu invokes Amalek again like he did before engaging in genocide in Gaza—but this time with regard to Iran.

Invoking Amalek is a call to annihilate the enemy.

AMALEK: MY JEWISH FAMILY'S LOST AMERICAN CENTURY

netanyahu invoked amalek on october 28th 2023.

>tfw no Amalek

Unless we're now going to say EVERYONE we don't like is Amalek? Just take a giant steaming shit on Jewish tradition, then, huh? The Amalek exception applies to absolutely everyone so it's okay to do whatever we want, violate every commandment against evil, because EVERYONE IS AMALEK NOW.

ARGH.

The legal definition of "genocide" is quite strict, but describing the "annihilation" of a place to "blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven" would sure seem to meet "dolus specialis," the specific intent to destroy a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group.

No Ayatollah ever called me Amalek

We've gone from "Palestinians are Amalek" to "Iran is Amalek" and I am SO ANGRY.

Where is genocidal intent proven? Start here. In October '23 Netanyahu invoked Amalek, the enemy the Bible commands be wiped out entirely, down to its children. South Africa cited it at the ICJ as evidence of intent. He reached for the one story that commands exterminating a people. Then it happened

Remember when Netanyahu invoked “Amalek” when talking about Gaza after October 7th and how we knew we were about to witness Israel commit genocide? Netanyahu has been describing Iran as “Amalek” for more than 15 years. (He does not do so in these clips, but you can hear how similar the rhetoric is.)

“Netanyahu quotes Amalek, not the Talmud, sorry” is a Not Even Wrong line I'm going to remember for a while

You will notice that the Book of Amalek is missing from most shuls

(The Jewish analogue, IMO, is talking about destruction of the totally non-existent Amalek vs. eager speculation about "who Amalek is" or something.)

It's always fascinating to me how contemporary Jewish sources are "he was Amalek reincarnated, the epitome of evil, but his people's grievances were fair"
August 13, 2026 at 1:20 PM
spitballing here: Perhaps, ISRAEL is Amalek???
April 2, 2026 at 11:01 PM
Amalek עמלק was an enemy nation in Judaism, Zionist compare Palestinians to the Amalek which is straight up dehumanisation

They forgot the Jewish quote
וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךְ
And you shall love your neighbor as yourself.

You talked about Pete Hegseth but no mention of Amalek
