I remember reading once (in Sender Zeyv's novel Ten Lost), that some Jewish sources say that Amalekians don't have souls. Obviously, this might not be so reliable, coming from a work of fiction, so I'm asking here. Is there any source (I don't remember if the book quoted one or not) for the claim that members of Amalek don't have souls?

This assumes that gentiles in general have souls, as appears to be the consensus in this question:

• Do gentiles have neshamot?

(Tell me if I should make this a separate question). If the answer is yes, does that mean they are Philosophical zombies? What would a positive answer (no neshamos) imply about the following:

• Amalekians having free will
• Amalekians feeling pain
• Their being some way to tell the difference (with a regular human) by their behavior
