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.You have to applaud Mondoweiss for exposing this as no one else in the media is reporting on it. In November, they translated a disturbing open letter written in Hebrew signed by around 90 Israeli doctors which urged the Israel Defense Forces to bomb hospitals in Gaza. Similarly, The Grayzone in March translated a piece in the Hebrew-only media detailing how the Israeli lawyer who pushed the "Hamas mass rapes" hoax was accused of scamming donors of millions of dollars. Israeli reporter David Sheen in March also exposed how Israel's top rabbi in Jaffa issued a call in Hebrew to genocide all Palestinians in Gaza and said the Torah demands the killing of men, women, children and even babies.
