  The Torah describes during the time, when Bnai Yisrael were in the Sinai desert, when Amalek attacked Israel. It was during the time when all the surrounding peoples feared to mess with Israel because they knew, as a result of G-d's liberation of Israel from Egypt, that Israel had divine providence on their side. The Midrash compares Amalek's attack on Israel to someone who jumps into a boiling hot pool. Everyone with sense would know not to jump into the boiling hot pool because they would be burned. But the idiot jumped in and was burned. But the fear of jumping in was cooled off. G-d commanded Israel to wipe out the meomory of Amalek. But the fear of attacking Israel was cooled. But when taking a closer look, it's not that G-d advocated a literal genocide of actual people and their descendants. The descendants of those Amalekites are already assimilated. But the essense of Amelek remains. And the essense of Amalek is to undermine G-d and his unity through undermining the Jewish soul, which naturally clings to G-dliness, Torah, and mitzvot. The essense of Amalek has been waging a constant war against the Jewish neshamah [soul] through belitttling Torah study and mitzvot observance. The essense of Amalek has been exploiting secular society in order to get the Jew to put Torah study and mitzvah observance in the back seat. I will discuss how the international secular left is one of the latest manifestations of Amalek, as well as the constant hostility to Israel. I will analyze why the world hates the Jews with a fervor, why the world demonizes Israel, why even secular Zionists get demonized for caring about Israel, and why they bash Ultra-Orthodox Jews for not joining an army that they themselves hate and falsely accuse of Apartheid. Tune in, as I discuss Amalek's war against G-d and its attempt to lead Jews astray by Gentilizing them and assimilating them.
