[ If the Palis were smart, they’d have continued calling themselves “Amalekites” as some of them did some years ago. ]
There are not any of them either..
At least it’s a Biblical name....even “Philistines” would give them some kind of argument, though the Phillies were early Greeks.

There is some interesting stuff in the Wiki article about Amalekites.
For instance:
Nazis as Amalekites
“Davidster” (Star of David) by Dick Stins is a World War II memorial in The Hague. The text at the side (in Dutch and Hebrew) is from Deuteronomy 25:17,19 - “Remember what Amalek has done to you...do not forget.”The Nazis and Adolf Hitler have been referred to as Amalekites.[9]
A prominent 19th and early 20th century rabbi, Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld, claimed upon Kaiser Wilhelm’s visit to Palestine in 1898, three decades before Hitler’s rise to power, he had a tradition from his teachers that the Germans are descended from the ancient Amalekites.[10]
Samuel’s words to Agag: “As your sword bereaved women, so will your mother be bereaved among women.” (Samuel 1:15:33) were quoted by Israeli President Itzhak Ben-Zvi in his handwriting in response to a telegram sent by Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann’s wife pleading for clemency after he was taken to Israel and sentenced to death.[11][12]
