Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made yet another veiled allusion to the biblical war of extermination against “Amalek” during his speech denouncing the ICC, Mondoweiss reports.
From Israeli writer Jonathan Ofir in Mondoweiss, “Netanyahu’s response to the ICC invokes another genocidal biblical reference”:
[F]or Netanyahu, the ICC news was an occasion to once again make allusions to the biblical war of extermination against “Amalek.” This was the same biblical reference Netanyahu invoked in a statement on October 28 at the outset of the Israeli ground invasion in Gaza. “Remember what Amalek did to you,” he said, quoting the biblical verse where God commanded the Israelites to wipe out the enemy nation of the Amalekites down to their babies and animals. South Africa submitted Netanyahu’s statement at the ICJ as evidence of Israel’s genocidal intent in Gaza.
