>The Gentile is a form of demon and should be treated with no more genuine benevolence than one would treat Samael himself
>Gentiles, whom the Zohar describes as “Amalekites” have an intrinsic tendency to disorder the world in causing it to revert to its primordial state of confusion and emptiness, which the Zohar calls “tohu and bohu.”
>All of these tend to bring the world back to the state of ‘tohu and bohu’, and they caused the destruction of the Temple. But as ‘tohu and bohu’ gave place to light, so when God reveals Himself they will be wiped off the earth. But withal redemption will not be complete until Amalek will be exterminated, for against Amalek the oath was taken that ‘the Lord will have war against Amalek from generation to generation.’ (I, Ber. 25b)
>The People of the Earth are idolaters, and it has been written about them: Let them be wiped off the face of the earth. Destroy the memory of the Amalekits. They are with us still in this Fourth Captivity, namely the Princes (of Rome)... who are really Amalekites. (I, 25a, Pranaitis p. 80)
>Longsuffering Israel
>Until the blessed day when the Gentiles are exterminated, Israel must remain in a withered, blighted condition. This is because the Gentiles, by the confusion they stir up in the lower levels, cause the blessings of the shekinah in the upper levels: from adequately descending upon Israel. Mystically equating Israel to plants in the Garden of Eden, the Zohar says that “... before these are exterminated the rain of Torah will not descend, and Israel, who are compared to herbs and trees, cannot shoot up, as is hinted in the words: “no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field, etc.” (Gen. II, 5)
