Recently Read Something Amazing About Amalek.....

 First I recommend this Sefer, which is a companion to appreciating the Uniqueness and Specialness, and Spirituality of the Land of Eretz Yisrael:

Places in the Parasha: Biblical Geography and its Meaning

About what I read, on the following pages:

If you are able to click & enlarge these pages, begin reading "What is the meaning of our eternal conflict with Amalek?

then continue on these two pages.

What captured my thoughts was this:

"Apparently, Amalek serves, in a way, as the nation of Israel's "evil twin." After this is a chronology of appearances of Amalek in the early history of the Israelites.

Then follows elaboration:

"Amalek is a figure that competes with us for our *identity and for our place – in our land, in the world, in history. The war with Amalek is more than just revenge; it is an act of defense – it is either us or them. We are commanded to blot out the memory of Amalek, but it is no less important for us to be able to distinguish between Israel and Amalek."

Also: "[...] It is almost difficult to avoid modern-day comparisons, and every generation has its own Amalek." (ed.) "When a nation **claims that it is the chosen race, while the Jews are an inferior nation that must be destroyed – when people claim claim that this land is not the Land of Israel, but a land with a different name, belonging to them – perhaps this is the essence of Amalek......"

This is what shines a floodlight on our struggles under the usurped leadership since the mid 19th Century, through 1948, up to and including the present.

And once again:

From Rav Moshe Sternbuch shlit"A:

"In every generation there are heretics who fight against Hashem and His Torah. Furthermore, Rav Moshe Cordovero wrote almost 500 years ago that the heads of government in the last generation before the coming of Moshiach will be from Amolek. 

Rav Chaim Brisker writes that the commandment to eradicate Amolek does not necessarily refer to the descendants of Amolek, but to anybody who espouses his atheistic philosophy.

 […] not to fear Iran or any eternal enemy We are only afraid of anti-Torah actions adopted by our coreligionists which cause sorrow to the Shechinah.

*  possibly a body of people who dominate the government of Israel.

** possibly a non-people non-nation that tries to usurp our identity and tries to eliminate Yehudim/Israelim from the face of the earth.
