No. Do it without getting yourself killed if possible.

What about if this is not possible or feasible? There were kamikaze missions during WWII. Would such missions be outlawed by Judaism?

There is no physical Amalek today anyways. Only the inner Amalek...

Wow, to say that this has ignited into a severely heated debate would be an understatement at this point! It appears that opinions vary and we're certainly not all on the same page regarding the incredibly controversial issue. That said, I still maintain my original position that if it wasn't for our trusty leader Chaim that we'd all probably be DEAD-- If it wasn't for Chaim's selfless and relentless efforts to PROTECT US from our DANGEROUS ENEMIES and his steadfast dedication to spreading the truth and making it known to our military leaders that our enemies are indeed putting us in grave danger, it's not much of a stretch to assume we'd all have been killed by now... When our great Chaim expresses his sacred opinions on TV he ALWAYS stands on the side of what is CORRECT and RIGHTEOUS!

Tough question if that's the only way to save someone else's life. I would recommend you search for articles by Rabbi J. Bleich on these topics because he's an expert in this stuff.
