In the shadow of the barbaric massacre committed by Palestinian terrorists in Israel on October 7, 2023, we must ask how to respond – morally – to radical evil.

Using the rules of war against Amalek, the biblical paradigm of radical evil, I demonstrate how these rules also conform to the internationally accepted principles of Just War Theory.
