Revenge is rooted in Israel and in their great leaders. We find this with Samson.
After "he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter"(judges15:8), the base men of Yehuda came to hand him over
to the Philistines, claiming fearfully "Are you unaware that the Philistines are rulers over us? What have you done to us?"
SAMSON replied "As they did to me, so I did to them."
SAMSON was crowned with the title of Tsadik. As Abaye said (Sotah 9b), "Delilah knew that that tsadik would never utter G-d's name in vain."
!שמשון הצדיק, הגאווה היהודית לא מתה
