    Blot Out Amalek

    17 ‘Remember that which Amalek hath done to thee in the way, in your going out from Egypt, 18 that he hath met thee in the way, and smiteth in all those feeble behind thee (and thou wearied and fatigued), and is not fearing God.
    19 And it hath been, in Jehovah thy God’s giving rest to thee, from all thine enemies round about, in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance to possess it — thou dost blot out the rememberance of Amalek from under the heavens — thou dost not forget.

    This slaughter of the "feeble" at the rear lines of Hebrews escaping from
    Egypt slavery into the Promised Land - might be one of the first examples
    of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the record history.

    Amalek knew that attacking the front lines of Hebrews with skilled,
    brave and battle-hardened companies of Moses, Joshua and Caleb
    would only be a trouble for them. This is why they chose to attack the "feeble": women, children, the wounded. the ill and the crippled who were "lagging behind".

    The author of Deuteronomy, the last book in the Books of Moses
    explains that Amalek did so because Hebrews had no international
    protection or allies, and Amalek also did not fear God, eternal
    punishment or retribution - Amalek did not mean it will return to
    him as a payment in this world or in the next.

    Multiplication of Hebrews he perceived as the danger for his living space "(Lebensraum") and he proceeded slaying equally women who could
    beget more Hebrews, children who will grow up and be fighters, and
    the feeble and wounded who could recover and become a threat.

    God has set an example for such a deed: Amalek is no longer a nation,
    he ceased to exist in history.

    But we have many Amalekites committing genocides on the unarmed
    civilians, children, wounded in Cambodian Killing Fields, Rwanda,
    with Rohynga, Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica or Afghanistan and Iraq.
    Reducing civilian lives to "colatteral damage", and degrading the Muslims
    to the worshippers of pagan "Moon god", and the prophet who is
    slandered as a pedophile, the hunt on men was unleashed.

    "Thou shalt not kill!" no longer applies for those groups, for Muslims were
    set in line with the Philistines and Canaanites, who were delivered for destruction to create more living space for the Hebrews.

    Fertility and the procreation power of Hagar and Ishmael are a constant
    threat in the fight for the world's resources.

    Genocides conceived by the people who did not fear God or retribution
    happened because of racial (native Americans), ethnic, religious, ideological reasons ("counter-revolutionary nations" and "kulaks"), or simply to make
    more of the ethnically cleansed and pure territory, by the right of superior nation for the "Lebensraum".

    in the name of the LORD God Merciful, Almighty
    Amen
