A Resemblance

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.

Who talks like that? I heard an echo, and couldn’t place it.

Till tonight. Incongruously, it came to me in the middle of candlelight dinner in a restaurant:

Now go and attack the Amalekites and completely destroy everything they have. Do not spare them. Kill men and women, infants and nursing babies …

The god of the Torah. 1 Samuel 15:3.

Certainly not comparing trump to god (the Last Trump?) but the way he is a mouthpiece for Netanyahu who speaks straight from the barbaric roots of the triune tribal tradition. The Amalekites were descendants of Esau, Jacob/Israel’s rough-hewn brother. It’s a family feud that now threatens to consume the whole world.
