What it means historically is irrelevant. Almalek is a any nation who poses an obstacle to jewry.

Functionally, Amalek is all goyim / gentiles. All will be eradicated or enslaved in order to bring about Tikkun Olam - Repairing the World. This is why they constantly try to mix up the races and pit them against each other.

Yaaa, Amalek is a term that exemplifies the need to otherize and render unforgivable the target of on the other side of anyone's desired war.

I would say that you could find such a term in anyone's culture.

That doesn't give an excuse to Israel, but is recognition that Israel is just like any culture that wants to totally crush its enemy.

People still aren't long out of the trees.
