Yesterday, Netanyahu compared the Palestinians to Amalekites in the "Holy Bible," discussed earlier today by Jake, on the Muslim Metaphysician. This is a dog-whistle reference to one of the more horrific crimes, among several, of total genocide by ancient Israel of people who objected to their land being stolen 3,000 years ago. Yaweh (Jehovah) commanded King Saul to slaughter all Amalekites, men, women, children, babies, and livestock. After killing all but the livestock, Saul was deposed and banished for disobedience. So Netanyahu is now quite clearly turning the annihilation of Palestinians into his own Unholy War by conjuring the vengeful Old Testament monster, Jehovah.

Samuel 15:3 "Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.”

Fortunately, the new legal doctrine adopted after WW2 said following orders was no excuse for committing crimes. Humanity has slowly evolved in a humanitarian direction but has quite a ways to go to attain a consistently moral state. Xi Jinping and the Chinese have begun to stress the need for Humanity to adopt the path leading to a shared future, which IMO is a goal that isn't discussed nearly as much as it needs to be given future realities. That topic gets interjected here and there but demands greater attention. Netanyahu is clearly not the only Zionist psycho just as Hitler wasn't the only genocidal German. Can the Human animal learn more about itself so it can avoid its self-destruction?
