E5, the order was given and we did not obey. We still haven’t. And until we do, we will continue to pay the price for that disobedience.
DEVARIM
(Book of Deuteronomy)
Chapter 25
17
Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt;
18
how he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were enfeebled in thy rear, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not G-d.
19
Therefore it shall be, when HaShem thy G-d hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which HaShem thy G-d giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget.
Nothing has changed them and WE have forgotten...though they continue to remind us every day of our lives.
They continue to murder women and children and the weak and the weary. They continue. And we let them.
“E5, the order was given and we did not obey. We still haven’t. And until we do, we will continue to pay the price for that disobedience.”
“Therefore it shall be, when HaShem thy G-d hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which HaShem thy G-d giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget.”
“Nothing has changed them and WE have forgotten...though they continue to remind us every day of our lives.
They continue to murder women and children and the weak and the weary. They continue. And we let them.”
And you have verifiable proof that the Southern Syrians are the lineal descendant of Amalek? I’d like to see that, please. The previous Lubavitcher Rebbe (Joseph Isaac Schneersohn), when leaving Europe refused to go by way of Germany, because, in his own words, he didn’t want “enter the land of Amalek”. This is my Rebbe. But in deciding a matter of Halacha, we must have verifiable proof. So I am not about to go around killing Germans just on his say-so, even if he was probably right. I’m sure it was not his intention to advocate that, because he, too, had the burden of preventing verifiable proof.
Now you are claiming that the Palis are the seed of Amalek, and saying we should act on that knowledge. Maybe you’re right. Maybe he was right. But you can’t both be right, and before embarking on such an extreme act as Biblically-mandated genocide, you need to present proof. Killing women and children is nothing new or unique. Colonel Chivington did it to the Cheyenne at Sand Creek. Shepherd did it to the Delaware after the Revolutionary War. That did not prove they were from Amalek, either. It would be nice to be certain, but you are not, except in your heart. I cannot agree to act on your gut feelings.
