Editing Nations of the World (section)

== The Other Nations ==
There are nations whose nefashos come from the three completely impure and evil klipos that contain no good at all, and the spark that sustains them only surrounds them in a makif way. Therefore, the nations whose nefashos come from these klipos, "all that they do is for themselves," and "the kindness of nations is sin," for all the charity and kindness that idol-worshipping nations do is only to glorify themselves.

Even among these, there are different types. There are nations that although they are idol worshippers, they are not so evil in their essential nature, meaning they are only an extension and illumination of the essence of evil. They can be corrected and transformed from evil to good, like the seven nations that although "they were the main foundation of idol worship" (Sefer HaMitzvos) and therefore we were commanded in the Torah "you shall utterly destroy them" and "you shall not let any soul live," nevertheless if they abandoned their idols and abominations - we accept them.

In contrast, there are nations that are the essence of evil, meaning they are evil in their very essence, like Amalek who is "the first of nations" - without remedy, and therefore "his end shall be eternal destruction," and about such cases the halacha was ruled: "their breaking is their fixing."

This follows the distinction between the three sons of Noach - Shem, Cham, and Yafes.
