Elchonon Wasserman, Rosh Yeshiva of Baranovitch (1875-1940)
The Torah teaches here that
the war against Amalek exists in all generations until the coming of
the messiah. However, the "Amalek" is not always the same.
In the olden days when the Jewish people was ruled only by Torah, the
enemies were the descendants of Amalek in the gentile world. But ever
since we have thrown off the yoke of the Torah, the seed of Amalek
thrives in our midst. We now have many who violate the Torah out of
spite, such as the Yevsekses – Jewish Communists – who live not
only in the Soviet Union but in all of the world, wherever there are
Jews, and also in Palestine. The Hellenizers there are the same
Yevsekses – there is no difference between them, except that these
write in Yiddish and those write in modern Hebrew…
People are so ignorant
today, that a large percentage of Jews support them with money, so
that they might be bigger and stronger. They do not know or
understand the word of Hashem, "When the wicked blossom like
grass, when all sinners flower, it is in order to destroy them
forever." (Tehillim 92:8) And when that time comes, woe to those
who support them or flatter them! And it is as clear as the sun that
the Land will vomit them out, for it is the King's palace and it does
not support sinners, much less those who sin out of spite. (I am not
coming here to curse or to bless, but since these things are written
in the Torah we must admit that they will come true.)
We must not err and think
that all those who follow the Zionists are from the seed of Amalek.
G-d forbid to say so; we are talking here only about their heads and
leaders, teachers and guides, writers and speakers – these are from
the seed of Amalek, standing at the front of their armies to do
battle with the Holy One, blessed is He. But all the multitudes of
Jews who join them are merely following like a herd of animals. (Omer
Ani Maasai Lemelech, paragraphs 5-6)
