-It's all "untrue quasi-religious story"...
"..according to old Testament 'genealogy' i.e. Amalek was a different tribe to Palestinians."
The Jews see themselves as children of Jabob whilst "Amalek" are the kin whose patrimony Jacob usurped: the children of Esau.
-It's not a new religion: just a reinstatement of Judaism in which Gods chosen are the Jews and the Tutelary deity as is his want, doesn't like the rest of humanity: " I have loved Jacob but Esau I have hated": not something compatatable with the bigger idea of a Universal god who doesn't do tribalism and favourites.
Palestinians cannot be Amalek.
-Course they can. If you follow the idea that the Jews are the chosen people anyone who opposes them is essentially "Amalek".
