Amalek embodies the principle of lo yareh HaShem, the lack of the fear of God, and therefore represents the power of darkness and evil in the world. The Torah states that we must "go out and fight" Amalek, which is a call to ongoing spiritual warfare in our lives ( Deut. 25:17-19 ). We can't sit by and passively accept evil; nor can we ignore .. To modern jews, all non jews are the enemy, and must be killed.
