Shabbos Zachor Blogging
Some questions: what do we say about the commandment to annhilate the very name of Amalek? Also, what are we to make of Shaul's protestations about how bad of a dead it would be -- but then he kills everyone except the king, rather than killing the most culpable? What does that say about Shaul? What sort of similar behaviors do we see today?
Which is worse: the commandment? Or the behavior of those who claim to condemn attacks on innocents, etc., but then go around and in retaliation for attacks kill all but those most culpable for said attacks?
