A recent poll shows that the majority of Jewish Israelis agree that there is a current incarnation of the “Amalek”, the biblical enemy nation where the divine command was to eradicate them, and that it applies to Palestinians in the modern day.

Netanyahu’s rant against the ICC quoted a biblical verse that warns against the dangers of not completely wiping out your enemy’s society. It doesn’t take much to figure out what this means for Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. 

For Passover, Benjamin Netanyahu again uses the bible to justify genocide in Gaza, comparing Hamas to “Pharaoh” and promises “additional and painful plagues” for Palestinians.
