This Saturday, every Jews is commanded to go to synagogue and hear the Torah portion, Deuteronomy 25:17.
"17 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt; 18 how he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were enfeebled in thy rear, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God. 19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget. "
This is really important and I wish all the Africans (I'm including ADOS here), all the Native Americans, all the South Pacific Islanders -- basically, all the "earthy" people should know this. Its basically saying that despite our humanity, we must know that there exist in this world, "people" who want to kill at all cost. They are cowardly and will hide. They will attack the stragglers, the women and children, the weak ones among us. They have no morals and they certainly don't care about G-d.
I think if this knowledge was more widespread, people can be more on guard.
Remember Amalek.
Amalek was the grandson of Esau (Esav) who, as the story goes, despite all the miracles that happened with the Hebrews, still wanted to go after them. They wanted it, even if it was a suicidal run.
Remember Amalek.
Who is Amalek today? You can probably guess. Just guard yourselves and now that there is no rhyme or reason to their madness.
