We read in the Hagaddah:
וְהִיא שֶׁעָמְדָה לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ וְלָנוּ. שֶׁלֹּא אֶחָד בִּלְבָד עָמַד עָלֵינוּ לְכַלּוֹתֵנוּ, אֶלָּא שֶׁבְּכָל דּוֹר וָדוֹר עוֹמְדִים עָלֵינוּ לְכַלוֹתֵנוּ, וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא מַצִּילֵנוּ מִיָּדָם.
Seemingly, from this it would seem that not necessarily is an enemy of the Jewish people considered to be called "amelek". (Since if we concluded that in every generation, those that stand up to annihilate us are termed Amalek, the hagddah could have said "In every generation Amalek rises against us"
What are some sources for calling the enemies of the Jewish people "amalek" (Such as the Crusaders, Nazis etc)
And, is the Hagaddah referring to anyone or a specific people that stand up against the jews?
