The story of Esther is the blessed salvation testimony of the saving Grace of Jesus Christ. For within the delicate leaves of her blooming faith lies the echo of a queen’s courage.
We’re talking about Purim, right? Time to eat hamentashen. Let’s see - so Haman plots to kill all of Jews is Persia. How do we know this - obviously, book tells us so. Plot is betrayed and about 75K-76K enemies of Jews of killed. That’s quite a collateral damage and numbers of killed are skewed dramatically. Jews celebrate the time they genocided their enemies since time’s immemorial, I had a pleasure to be at bat mitzva where a 13-years old girl triumphantly said - after reading her portion - they tried to kill us, we killed them, now let’s eat.
It’s very instructive to reflect on this. Any parallels with present time are, of course, accidental.
History is history. There are stupid Jews just like we have stupid people in all cultures and nations. The definition of "stupid" is "knowing the Truth but refusing to take action upon it." The masses are stupid until they receive the indwelling Life of Jesus Christ. Once they house the mind of Christ from within, stupidity remains on the Cross. Then, and only then, the campaigns of hatred fade with the old nature of humanity, and new life is released that is filled with Love, Grace, and Hope.
Purim is obviously the celebration of God delivering the Jews from the hands of a localized antichrist, Haman. When we bring that forward to the present circumstances of Hamas, or other opinionates attacking Israel, many Israeli citizens are expecting God to do another Purim. However, most modern Jews are actuating stupidity in such a blind Purim without surrendering to God fully.
"Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid."
(Proverbs 12:1) Israel is in the process of being disciplined by God. In Esther's story, the Jews were in a mode of submitting to God. Thus, stupidity (knowing the Truth but refusing to act upon it) has become the norm for the present Jews and the generalized masses of the world.
The next actualized Purim for the Jews will be when God redeems the 144,000 pure bloodline Jews from the hands of the final Antichrist - at the end of his Tribulation, which will replicate the story of Esther, her king, the Jews, and Haman - a localized antichrist. I hope this helps.
Nah, God did not obviously slit throats of 75 thousands, women and children included, don’t delude yourself. Purim is about tribe teaching its young - reading done every year - about protecting themselves and killing outsiders when necessary. Mixing gentiles into the story is laughable from my perspective - especially doing “Jews/Gentiles” construction - the role of Gentiles in the Book of Edith is to be killed en masse.
When a Gentile becomes born-again in Christ, they are graphed into the pure bloodline of the Tribe of Judah, through Jesus Christ. Thus, Purim is one of our Holy celebrations.
Well, that’s one way to look at it.
How do you view it?

I think I don’t quite follow your statement about stupid Jews and its connection to Purim.
