Why is Netanyahu invoking ‘Amalek’ rhetoric to justify genocide of Palestinians
Monday, 06 November 2023
(https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2023/11/06/714126/why-netanyahu-amalek-rhetoric-justofy-gaza-genocide)
By Ivan Kesic
On the evening of October 28, three weeks into the genocidal campaign in the besieged Gaza Strip, Israeli regime premier Benjamin Netanyahu brazenly justified the horror by calling the Palestinian resistance movement an iteration of the Amalek rhetoric.
He described the Hamas resistance group as an enemy of incomparable cruelty, quoting Deuteronomy 25:17: “You must remember what Amalek has done to you” and adding “We do remember.”
Out of the 23,145 verses of the Old Testament, Netanyahu chose the ones that are among the most violent and have a long history of being used by Zionists to justify killing Palestinians.
The Book of Deuteronomy, the fifth book of the Jewish Torah and the fifth book of the Christian Old Testament states: “You will blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. You shall not forget.”
The Hebrew text further calls for the killing of the entire nation of Amalek: “Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.”
In this verse from the first Book of Samuel 15:3, God commands King Saul to kill every person in Amalek, a rival nation to ancient Jews, and totally destroy all that belongs to them.
The Amalek rhetoric is one of the numerous ideologically inspired comments used by Israeli officials to justify the genocidal campaign in the besieged coastal strip of 2.2 million population, which has already claimed almost 10,000 lives, most of them children.
According to a poll conducted in October, half of Israeli Jews declared that the Tel Aviv regime should “not at all” consider the “suffering of the civilian Palestinian population in Gaza” in the next phase of fighting, and that casting the enemy as Amalek reinforces that attitude.
Although there is a consensus in mainstream Judaism among the Rabbis that Amalek no longer exists and cannot be a reference to justify attacking anyone, many Zionists before Netanyahu used this rhetoric against the Palestinians.
One example is Israel Hess, an Israeli Rabbi who in 1980 published an article for the student publication of Bar-Ilan University in which he equated the Palestinians with Amalek and explicitly called for their genocide.
Mordechai Eliyahu, a former chief Rabbi of Israel from 1983 to 1993, also drew parallels between the Palestinians and Amalek, giving authority to indoctrinate Zionist children in Israeli religious schools.
Explainer: Israel’s 2023 Gaza genocide has roots in 1917 Balfour Declaration
Baruch Goldstein, the notorious Zionist terrorist who killed 29 Palestinians during prayer in a mosque in Hebron in 1994, also saw Palestinians as Amalek and carried out an attack on Purim.
The animosity of the Hebrew texts towards Amalek comes from the legend that they mercilessly attacked the ancient Jews on their way to the “promised land” after which God told Moses to exterminate Amalek.
According to these legends, a few generations later King Saul carried out this order by killing all the Amalekite men, women and children, except their king who continues the line from which Haman was born many generations later.
The villain Haman went on to develop a plot to kill all the Jews living in exile under an Iranian ruler, which sends a clear message that Saul’s failure to kill every Amalekite posed an existential threat to Jews.
Jews traditionally hear the story of the Amalek ambush and God’s decree that they be eliminated on the Shabbat service before the holiday of Purim, which itself celebrates the failure of Haman’s plan.
Although historians deny the historicity of these fables about Amalek, Haman and the alleged threat of annihilation of the Jews under Iranian rule, their influence on the contemporary policy of the Israeli regime is more than obvious.
Rabbi Yisrael Rosen, founder of the Office for Conversions to Judaism in the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, in 2012 stated that one of the former Iranian presidents was Amalek and Israel “must destroy him.”
“If we are honest about identifying our enemy for what he is, we must act while ignoring the nations of the world. Our strength lies in the combination of our faith and our abilities on the battlefield,” Rabbi Rosen said.
In 2017, during a visit to Russian Moscow, Netanyahu presented a book about Haman to Russian President Vladimir Putin, claiming that Iran harbors an all-time plan to destroy the Jews.
In response, Putin replied that these are outdated myths and that we live in a different world today, suggesting to the Israeli leadership to stick to reality.
However, the reality we are witnessing these days is that myths about genocide are indeed the basis for carrying out a real genocide.

UN Security Council resolution 1860 was adopted on January 8, 2009, four years after the so-called “2005 disengagement plan” which Israel claims ended Gaza’s status as “occupied territory”.
Despite Israel’s claim, this resolution – which was adopted with the US abstaining to vote – clearly stresses that “the Gaza Strip constitutes an integral part of the territory occupied in 1967”.
This effectively means that, according to the Security Council, Israel exhausted its right to self-defence when it pre-emptively seized the West Bank and Gaza in an international conflict in 1967; And since then, the only set of laws that govern the Israeli-Palestinian situation is the customary and treaty-based norms of “Humanitarian law” that regulate occupation.
According to the applicable law:
– Israel is not only proscribed from harming the inhabitants of these territories, but it is obliged to ensure their safety and security (Article 43 of The Hague regulations).
– Israel is also under the obligation to provide protection to their private properties (Arts. 46 and 47 of the Fourth Geneva convention), and to keep intact their “public buildings, real estate, forests and agricultural estates” (Art. 55 of the Fourth Geneva convention).
Why has this binding Security Council resolution been forgotten?

Before the war, Gdansk had a Jewish community of about 10,000 people, most of whom were assimilated to German culture and spoke German as their first language.
In 1933, the Nazis came to power in Germany and began to implement antisemitic policies and propaganda in Gdansk, which was a semi-autonomous Free City under the League of Nations.
From 1937 on, there was an exodus of Jews from Gdansk, including 140 Jewish children who made it to Britain via the Kindertransport. By the outbreak of war in September 1939, only 1,600 Jews remained in the city.
In 1941, the Nazis established a Jewish ghetto on Granary Island, a place in the very center of the city. The ghetto consisted of a single building, the Red Mouse granary, where about 1,000 Jews.
They were deported to concentration camps such as Stutthof, Auschwitz, and Treblinka. Most of them perished in the camps or were killed in mass shootings and gas chambers.
By the end of the war, only a few dozen Jews from Gdansk survived the Holocaust. The city was almost completely destroyed by the Allied bombing and the Soviet invasion.
After the war, Gdansk became part of Poland, and most of the surviving Jews left the city or the country.
