SWEET DOESN'T MEAN PUSHOVER- Parshat Zachor

The ingenious & rational Rambam (hil. M'lachim 5, 5) adds several surprising words in defining the Torah mitzva to remember what Amalek did to us: "to constantly (!) remember their evil deeds and their ambush of Israel TO AROUSE OUR HATRED of them". We usually relate to hatred as something we are meant to overcome, and surely not "arouse", and definitely not "constantly"! Anyway you look at it, it's been 2500 years since there was a practical mitzvah to fight the Amalek children, so why must we constantly (?) "remember"? This short article analyzes the Jewish mistake which Hamas has recently helped us understand.
