Cute, but unfortunately, a quite inaccurate reading of the megillah.

I love the story behind Purim, for the the fact that it is about a genocidal maniac getting exactly what he deserved

That, and the fact that it makes idiots like David Duke scream bloody murder as well...

Haman was also the son of Agag,the Amalekite king Saul was supposed to anhilate but spared.

Amalek were the people the Jews were commanded to anhilate,because Amalek have attacked the Jews and tried to anhilate them starting from old men women and children.

Amalek is the grandson of Esau\Edom-the evil brother of Jacob the patriarch of Israel.

His ideology was Nihilism-no God,no morals,a complete opposite of Judaism.

Esther is a descendant of Saul and has come to finish his job.

in my perspective, haman represents how this guy said. More or less, and the jews represent the jews.

The story of Esther is an inspiring story of a princess doing what she has to do to save her people. An inspiring legend that says: "When i fuck the king, I might get whacked; if I don't fuck the king, we'll all get whacked"!!!

Haman represents the Antichrist. The Jews represent the saved bible believing Christians of this day and age. In my perspective

At the Nuremberg trial, one of the ten Nazi's that were about to be hung, said the words "Purim, 1947". This is recorded in newspapers at the time... there is definitely a connection to the Purim story. Moshiach is on his way - prophecy of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
