Why Israeli Soldiers Chant to Commit Genocide against "the Seed of Amalek."
Don't click on this if you are offended by religious truth.
Now this may piss you off. I watched Charlton Heston versus Yul Bryner in “The Ten Commandments” countless times and know the place Moses holds in religion. But if you look at what’s going on in the world, there is a terrible problem in Palestine right now.
After the Young Turks publised a video of Israeli soldiers making what can be only described as a Genocidal Chant, I decided to look into who the Amelek are, and why the Israeli’s want to destroy their entire bloodline.
I’m coming to occupy Gaza
and beat Hezbollah
I stick by one mitzvah
To wipe off the seed of Amalek
To wipe off the seed of Amalek
I left home behind me
We won’t come back until victory
We know our slogan
There are no uninvolved civilians
Suffice to say that the history of Moses we learned from Charlton Heston isn’t exactly the full picture. Moses made a “Mitzvah,” or Commandment to commit Genocide, something his followers in Israel still do today. “Blot out the remembrance of Amelek from under Heaven.” I’ve never heard a Preacher mention that, not that I’ve been to Church many times. I had to “do my own reasearch” on that.
First I had to look up “mitvah.” From Wikipedia:
In its primary meaning, the Hebrew word mitzvah (/ˈmɪtsvə/; Hebrew: מִצְוָה, mīṣvā [mit͡sˈva], plural מִצְווֹת mīṣvōt [mit͡sˈvot]; "commandment") refers to a commandment from God to be performed as a religious duty. Jewish law (halakha) in large part consists of discussion of these commandments. According to religious tradition, there are 613 such commandments.[1]
So the Israeli soldiers only obey this one Mitzvah, or commandment. This Mitzvah is of course in stark contrast to the 10 Commandments of Moses, including of course, Thou Shalt not Commit Murder.
So, who where the Amalekites?
From Rabbi Boruch Altein: Who Were Amalek and the Amalekites?
The Amalekites, descendants of Amalek, were an ancient biblical nation living near the land of Canaan. They were the first nation to attack the Jewish people after the Exodus from Egypt, and they are seen as the archetypal enemy of the Jews. The nation of Amalek is long gone, but they live on as the internal enemies that we each battle on a daily basis.
Who Was Amalek
Eliphaz, son of Esau (the patriarch Jacob’s brother and sworn enemy), and his concubine Timna had a child named Amalek.1 Amalek grew up in Esau’s household, imbibing Esau’s pathological hatred of Jacob’s descendants along the way. His offspring became the nation of Amalek, and they lived to the south of the Land of Israel, in what is now known as the Negev Desert.2
The Amalekites Attack
After the Jewish people crossed the Red Sea, they encamped in Rephidim, a barren location in the Sinai Desert. The people thirsted for water, and God provided a miraculous well of water to accompany them on their journeys.
While the Jews were still at Rephidim, recuperating from their escape from Egypt,3 the nation of Amalek launched a vicious surprise attack on them—though the Jews had no designs on Amalekite territory and were not even headed in that direction.
Moses commanded his disciple Joshua to take an elite troop of soldiers into battle the next day. Moses himself ascended a nearby mountain to pray for God’s salvation.4
The Jews defeated Amalek in battle, killing their strongest warriors while allowing the others to return home.5
Following the battle, God commanded Moses to record the story of Amalek’s treacherous attack for posterity, and to enjoin Moses’ future successor, Joshua, to remember the attack as well. God promised to completely wipe out the memory of Amalek from the earth, and to wage an eternal war with Amalek in every generation. God swore that His name and throne would not be complete until Amalek was destroyed.6
In other words, Moses and his followers invaded the Amelikites’s homeland during the Exodus and they fought back. The tribe or nation of Amelek was situtated just south of Canaan.
Here’s an informative video on the Amalekites by Gary Kent.
The Amelikites were one of the arch enemies of the Israelites. They were an ancient biblical Nation living south of the land of Canaan in the Negev region. The amalekites are renowned in the Bibleas the first nation to attack the Israelites after The Exodus from Egypt.
In Exodus chapter 17 verses 8 to 16, we read how Amalek and his tribe makes war in the wilderness against the Israelites as they come out of slavery in Egypt. The Hebrew leader Moses orders Joshua to lead Israel into battle against the Amalekites. Now this is a fierce hand-to-hand combat with spears swords and shields. Moses watches the battle from a nearby Hillside.
Then in Deuteronomy chapter 25 verses 17 to 19, we read that the amalekites were cursed and their Annihilation predicted when the Israelites were specifically commanded to blot out the remembrance of amalek from under Heaven once they had taken possession of the promised land in retribution for what Amalek did to them on the way as they were coming out of Egypt.
In the book of First Samuel chapter 15, the prophet Samuel identifies amalek as the enemy of the Israelites saying thus says the Lord of hosts I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel; how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt. God then commands King Saul to destroy the Amalekites and he carried out a systematic campaign against them.
The prophet Samuel even identifies king Agag of Amalek as an enemy and killer saying as your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women.
Then again in first Samuel chapter 30. there's the record of when the Amalekites invaded and burnt the town of Ziklang and took away its people into captivity. The Future King David leads a successful counter-attack against the amalekites to recover the people and all that the aAmalekites had carried away.
Then in second Samuel chapter 1 we read how an amalekide Warrior tells David that he found King Saul leaning on his spear after the battle of gilboa the Amalekite proudly claims to have killed King Saul and removed his crown. Dismayed that the Amalekite should kill the anointed king of Israel, David gives orders to his men to kill the Amalekite.
The stories about the Amalekites are mentioned 23 times in nine books of the Bible. The last time they're mentioned in the Bible is in first Chronicles chapter 4 verses 42 and 43 when the last remnants of the Amalekites were annihilated by the Ssimeonites during the time of King Hezekiah. But what is surprising is that at the moment, over 2 000 years later, there is no archaeological evidence or reference to the amalekite people outside of the Bible.
Deuteronomy is apparently taken from the words of Moses himself, although some scholars dispute it.
As a part of the books of Moses, Deuteronomy is traditionally attributed to Moses, a pivotal figure in Scripture and an Old Testament type of Jesus. Like other books of the Torah, Deuteronomy was either directly written by Moses or dictated to scribes. Mosaic authorship is easily established, as the bulk of Deuteronomy is a collection of sermons Moses gave to Israel just before they crossed the Jordan. The book of Deuteronomy opens with this statement: “These are the words Moses spoke to all Israel in the wilderness east of the Jordan” (Deuteronomy 1:1).
Despite Scripture’s clear attribution of Deuteronomy to Moses, some scholars deny Mosaic authorship in favor of modern hypotheses that view the Torah as a work of several anonymous authors spanning centuries. But in the New Testament, Jesus divides the Hebrew Bible into three sections: “The Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms” (Luke 24:44). By classifying the law as being “of Moses,” Jesus clearly affirmed that the Torah was written by Moses.
I’m certainly open to more viewpoints on Biblical history, but in any case, I do not support the Genocide of Israel against the Palestinians based on passages in the Old Testament, and I believe it is time for the United States to put an end to Israel’s religious insanity and evil, whatever the ancient origins.
Growing up, I was taught a sanatized, Patriotic version of how the United States saved the Jews from the Nazis- true to a large extent, but certainly not the whole story. It’s the principle of the matter, not the demographics or the ancient history and grudges. People are people. Wrong is wrong. I have no sympathy for or allegience to anyone who chants to commit Genocide, especially after they have stabbed our country in the back so many times after so many Americans gave their lives to help save their asses from Genocide in World War II.

Thank you for this article! Everyone ought be held accountable for their actions, regardless of group membership. I hold it is immoral to condemn anyone on the basis if their birth. It does appear that a cult arose some millennia ago that figured out how to weaponize people very effectively, and these "Amalek" narratives are part of that cult's technology to engineer and weaponize hatred across time, while protecting the cult's inner circle of pathocrats. Have you read *From Yahweh to Zion* by Laurent Guyénot? https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/38226255
Though their evil technology has appeared to work well for a long time now, it appears that more and more people are seeing how the sausage was made and are done with it.
You've got it all confused because the Jews have been corrupting scripture and history since 160AD, after they couldn't kill all of us.

TL;DR THE JEWS ARE NOT THE HEBREWS OR THE ISRAELITES OF THE BIBLE
