“Remember what Amalek did to you…”
Deuteronomy XXV: 17
Today’s enemy of Israel, Amalek, is Hamas. Like the Biblical Amalek, it aims to disrupt Israel’s march through history toward its unique destiny – the state for all Jews. Don’t be afraid! Lacking any sense of morality, today’s Amalekim pursue any action they deem necessary for their goal, without any regard for justice or civility. Today’s Amaleks seek, similarly, to annihilate the Jewish State – and thus to keep other nations away from Israel’s guiding moral light.
Throughout the centuries the Jewish people have had to face many such enemies. The treacherous firing of missiles by Hamas’ thugs at Israel’s civilian population is a typical Amalek act. Such unprovoked vicious enmity towards Israel is typical of the Amalek character. Hamas –like all the other terrorist enemies of Israel, Sunni and Shiite–perpetrates the legacy of their evil antecedents. And they will be remembered in history as such, for their destiny will be the same as that of all of Israel’s past and present enemies!
The Purim story and holiday will not die as long as prejudice and antisemitism exist in the world. The much-loved prophetess Deborah concluded her thanksgiving victory song as follows: “And the land was quiet for forty years.” After defeating the current Amaleks, from Hamas to IS to Iran’s ayatollahs, may there be peace for 400 years and more, for Israel and the entire world.: “Remember what Amalek did to you”.
To all of CIJR’s friends, followers and to the entire House of Israel: Hag Purim Sameach! Enjoy the Purim holiday!
