Although you clearly approve of Bibi Netanyahu who recently picked out one of the 23,000 verses from the Old Testament to inspire his followers and illustrate Israel's plan for expansion and revenge (from the First Book of Samuel). He used the fate of the Bronze Age (c 1000 BCE) Amalekites as a template for the fate of the Palestinians at the hands of the IDF “You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember.”:
“This is what the Lord Almighty says,” the prophet Samuel tells Saul. “‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
As a fan of 'The Holy Bible' he is doing a good job on the putting to death of men and women, children and infants .... and the rest.
