זָכ֕וֹר אֵ֛ת אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֥ה לְךָ֖ חָמָ֑אס
בַּיוֹ֥ם שִׂמְחַתְכֶ֖ם הָעֲצַֽרֶת׃ אֲשֶׁ֨ר שָׂרַֽפְךָ֜ מִשָׁמַ֗יִם וַיְזַנֵּ֤ב בְּךָ֙ מִן־הַיוֹשְׁבִ֣ים בְּגְּבוּלוֹתֶ֔יךָ וְאַתָּ֖ה עָיֵ֣ף וְיָגֵ֑עַ וְשָׂנֵ֖א אִ֥ישׁ אֶת־אָֽחִיו׃ |
Remember that which was done to you by Hamas,
on the day of your gladness, the Assembly. That burned you from the skies, and kidnapped from within you, from those who dwelled by your borders… and you were tired and weary, and each man hated his brother. |

וְהָיָ֡ה בְּהָנִ֣יחַ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֣יךָ לְ֠ךָ
מִכָּל־אֹ֨יְבֶ֜יךָ מִסָּבִ֗יב בָּאָ֨רֶץ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יְהוָֽה־אֱ֠לֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵ֨ן לְךָ֤ נַֽחֲלָה֙ לְרִשְׁתָּ֔הּ תִּמְחֶה֙ אֶת־זֵ֣כֶר חָמָ֔ס מִתַּ֖חַת הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם לֹ֖א תִּשְׁכָּֽח׃ |
It will be, when YHWH your God will emplace you firmly
from all your enemies surrounding you, in the Land that YHWH your God gave to you, a heritage to inherit – wipe out the very memory of Hamas from beneath the skies – do not forget! |

May the One who answered
Moshe, Aharon, and Ḥur, Shimshon, Shaul, and Dovid, Mordeḥai and Esther, answer us speedily and in our days. |
This is a riff on the mitsvah to obliterate Amaleq in Parashat Zakhor, adapted to the horrors committed by HAMA”S and its allies on 7 October 2023.
