I finished watched a movie titled “Esther” just a few minutes ago. Haman who was an Iranian (Persian) got King Xerxes to order all Jews to be killed.

In the end, Haman and his Sons were hanged on the scaffold they had built for Mordecai.

Xerxes?

The name of the ancient Persion king in scroll of Esther is “Achasverosh”. Maybe Xerxes is another name for him, but I never heard that one.

Peculiar that the movie would identify Haman as a "Persian" since they were in Persia. In the Bible, he's identified as "Agagite" which if you check in the first book of Samuel, would make him a descendent of Agag, an Amalekite. They are the ancient foes of Israel from whom, some believe, the "Palestinians" and some of the more virulent jihadists come.

At any rate, the belief is that Iran has always contained both the Persian element, such as the Shah, and the Amalekite represented by the Khomeinis/Khameinis (which is derived from Haman)

Please feel free to ignore the above flurry of insanity.

I should point out that the leader of Iran was not ever Achmadinejad nor is Rouhani the head guy now. The head honcho is ALi KHaMeNei.

Notice his name. Pull out an AM-L-K, and one gets Amalek. Pull out the HaM-N, and one gets Haman. This is what they are scared about in K'far Shmaryahu, and now they have nowhere to turn but up.
