[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]And here's the response from TOI that was just published on the unacceptable post.

That explanation seems pretty straightforward. But, TOI appears to have a bit more work to do. Another one of their bloggers appears to have the same idea, but just a different vocabulary:

http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/1-samuel-1518/

"G-d might be meant to illustrate that voice of the people-the vox populi. In this case, G-d had demanded that Saul (or the “prime minister”)  enter into battle with the Amalekites (Hamas and its savage partners) and destroy them utterly even if that means to the last child, cow and goat. As cruel as this appears, it is a lesson that teaches a nation in terrible danger that it has a legitimate obligation to put a definite end to a substantial threat.   The end of such a conflict must make it impossible for that enemy to rebuild and continue to vex one’s nation forever."
...
"Saul refuses to kill Agag, the king of the Amalekites. In his disobedience, his  defying of  G-d, is equivalent  to our present leadership attempting  to fight Hamas while refusing to employ the means  to destroy it entirely. "
...
"It’s time to take heed of the words of the L-rd, it is time to do what the people of Israel demand, it is time to kill Agag."
