The Eradication of Amalek
Question
I saw that a lot of people asked about the podcast with Dushi, but only from the other direction.
You said there that Hamas is not far from reaching the status of Amalek, but still not there yet.
Please elaborate: what is the difference?
Answer
The difference is that in the current situation, not all of them there are wicked, and there is no deterministic certainty that every single person you did not kill would go on to commit murder and terrorism.
Discussion on Answer
The descriptions in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and in the words of the Sages.
By the way,
what is the source for the claim that this was the situation with Amalek?
