Netanyahu gives Obama a gift

Jews are now celebrating the holiday of Purim. How did I know that? Because I read this at the hogewash blog: "Prime Minister Netanyahu gave President Obama a gift during his visit yesterday. It was a copy of the Book of Esther, the biblical story of how the Jews defended themselves from a genocidal attack from a group of Persians. That victory is celebrated in the holiday of Purim which begins this year tomorrow evening at sunset."

Slick move by Netanyahu. But I wonder who Haman represents?
