This initial perception has no necessary grounding in who we are, what we think and what we do as singular individuals. Considering our own tendency to situate these very same neighbors within our own "Arab-Israeli/Palestinian" frame of reference, we are intimately cognizant of group-oriented categories accompanying the relation to others. Can this mutual reification of persons in terms of single-frame categories be replaced with a more inclusive relation to the being of an "other"?

Resolution of the political question presupposes resolution of the theological question of whether the Jewish people indeed have a unique telos, and whether this telos is linked to a particular political or social form. This ongoing deliberation is one of the defining features of the inter-generational dialogue within the Jewish heritage. When the Zionist movement declared its intention to initiate the founding of a Jewish State in Zion, this decision caused unprecedented turmoil in Jewish communities. For some, the creation of a political entity in the Land of Israel signaled a brash and unwelcome rejection of the Orthodox belief that the return will occur only in the days of the Messiah, until which time political inaction is the appropriate conduct.

The review demostrates how reference to Amalek (assumed to be the ultimate arch-enemy of Jews) provides us with a way of assesing the "Jewish morality" of the diverse authors in particular, and of contemporary Israeli Judaism in general.
