RE: Purim and Esther

Esther is really a great hero for modern Jews, and the book is a roadmap to power and prestige. Esther is absolutely remorseless and vengeful. Hanging Haman is great, but hanging his ten sons on the same gallows anticipates genocide (where are the Agagites or Amelekites today?). There is no mention or reference to JHVH or any weakling reliance on prayer. These Jews (like modern Israelis) kill their enemies for themselves and the results are wonderful. Love that gal!
