Certainly the definition used by the UN, specifically the phrase "in whole or in part", allows people to throw it around too liberally. On Netanyahu referencing Amalek, I'd recommend this article in the Atlantic, published last January - his reference was clearly misinterpreted (he was referring to a section of Deuteronomy, while the mention of Amalek that would be problematic is from the book of Samuel, obviously a completely different part of the bible). He's said and done loads of awful things in his time, but that particular one is not among them. Obviously his government does, shamefully, contain Jewish supremacists who would clearly love to push the Palestinians out of the area completely, but their influence in Gaza appears to be minimal (their influence in the West Bank is much greater, with disastrous results).
