I thought you might like to read this article on the Israel Center website: ---------------------------------------------- "He Zealously Made My [G-d's] Rights Valid" (Bamidbar 25:11) - Part 5a The prayer “For the slanderers let there be no hope,” Birkat HaMinim, in the Amida, is so full of hate and condemnation that it is bound to arouse feelings of animosity against the traitors and internal enemies of Israel. Such a prayer must therefore originate with one who is noted for a lack of the passion of hatred. So Shmuel HaKatan was chosen by the Sages to author Birkat HaMinim. It he who taught, “rejoice not in the downfall of your enemy and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles” (Mishlei 24:17). http://www.ouisrael.org/tidbits/detail/804/
