"Intent? Here's an excerpt from the article Ray posted:

"Netanyahu has also recently invoked Biblical language to “justify” his mass killing of Palestinians. In a public oration he quoted Samuel 15:3 saying, “You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible.” And, quoting “Our Holy Bible”: “Now go and attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.”"

I would rather go right to the source; Bible is not a word ever used in the Bible. That also is a fact, you might want to check this by reading the Bible. Jing James, NIV, NLT, take your pick. The internet, and YouTube are not the Bible. Perhaps you have noticed this, perhaps you have not. A rather weak response on your part in my opinion. I suppose it was the best one possible given that you are unable to substantiate what you are claiming, as it does not exist.

I’m pretty sure one can find the verbatim text of every version you mentioned on the internet. As far as YouTube is concerned I’m sure one can find videos of a narrator reading each of those versions as well.

Imo what he did was make a veiled genocidal threat toward the Palestinians last October(not just Hamas), using the Old Testament of the bible as a historical reference, and precedence.

South Africa (and others?) took Israel to the Hague (International Court of Justice) over this.

Based on Netanyahu's statements, statements from his cabinet, the IDF, the ICJ court arguments, and conditions on the ground, I think the Israeli govt, at least at one point, intended (intent) to wipe the Palestinians out. Genocide.

I'd guess they walk that back a little now considering they got taken to the Hague and the world is paying more attention than they were last fall. I hope that's the case, but maybe not. Time will tell.

Robert, what I think and what I can argue are different things. I don’t think Netanyahu intends to wipe out all Palestinians but I do think he was quoting Samuel to stiffen the resolve of the Israelis. He knew of course that to completely wipe out Hamas (Amalek) many innocents would be killed by IDF. I think he was rallying the nation. I can’t give you honest arguments. I can only tell you what I think and what I believe. I can see why people would think otherwise and I don’t have any way or any desire to change anyone’s mind on the subject. If I thought I truly had an answer then I would have an argument for it. But for now, I can only go with what I think and believe. I hope that makes some sense.
