Enough, is far enough, enough! Maspeek! Dayenu!

I wish to relay a message, born from a sleepless night of internal and external turmoil, that encapsulates the profound strategic and emotional challenge facing the People of Israel today of a single, clear mandate: that the immediate end to internal division is a matter of collective survival.

Once more as I tried my best to sleep, the two old guys were at it arguing all night. What is wrong with us, they complained!

And as these two opposing voices in my mind argued, as an old historically knowledgeable old guy I remembered the famous quotes one by John Jay is his warning, "when a people or family divides, it never fails to be against themselves," and the other by Abraham Lincoln's assertion, "A house divided against itself cannot stand".  

We, as the “People of Israel” cannot realize that we live in a world of hate! That we, as the “People of Israel”, are denied the same basic concepts that rule all humanity?

That as an indigenous people we are denied our homeland. Our holiest sites are covered by those of a conquering people and denied us!

Meanwhile the whole brainwashed bamboozled world bows down and lauds these usurpers in their rapturous gross fabrications and revisionist historical lies!

It is beyond belief of how we are judged under a magnifying glass that edifies the double standard of international judgment while abhorrent actions are allowed to occur freely by others! That "No Jews, No news!"

And as the argument went on and on throughout the long restless night. I remembered the words in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling, when the character Albus Dumbledore states. 

"We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided" 

and those by Elena Kagan who once stated, 

"We make progress by listening to each other, across every apparent political or ideological divide"

And as I laid their dying to rest my mine dumb from the incessant argument, I remembered just as Dumbledore uses this quote to explain to Harry the importance of standing together against Voldemort and his followers, who thrive on creating discord. 

We too, the "People of Israel", must realize the strategic importance of "Standing together" as ONE people undivided by religious and political beliefs against the tsunami of hatred of Jews throughout the world. 

That Tsunami of a sick vile hatred inspired by those who wish to usurp OUR inheritance from OUR indigenous homeland in Eretz Yisrael!

We must put an end, immediately, to our sick internal arguments that are consuming our energy and attention that is better spent on overcoming the "tsunami of hatred."

The unity of the "People of Israel" is not just a moral ideal, but a strategic imperative for OUR collective resilience and survival against the "tsunami of hatred."

We MUST embrace wholeheartedly Elena Kagan's quote about making progress "by listening to each other, across every apparent political or ideological divide," as a path forward—to allow for mutual respect and understanding instead of endless, exhausting conflict.

These "two old guys" that argued in my sleepless night, essentially personified the deep, anxious, and unresolved arguments that exist within our collective Israeli and Jewish identity. 

My – Yakov Marks -lack of profound PTSD sleep-is full of our collective Israeli and Jewish of carnage of death. I myself personally experienced the horrors of our never ending conflict with these fanatical Islamist usurpers. 

My mind also recalls those scenes of the Holocaust that are burnt into our Jewsih collective minds. Our incessant internal and external turmoil causes many of us to suffer from lack of rest and peace.

I call upon ALL the "People of Israel" to heed the wisdom that I espouse here of history and literature: that overcoming the "sick vile hatred" requires cohesion, mutual respect, and an unwavering commitment to standing together as ONE people!

As was stated and cried out on October 8th, 2023, "יַחַד נְנַצֵּחַ" -Yachad Nenatze'ach "Together we will win" is is not just a slogan; it is the action plan for the collective resilience and self-determination that cries out to ALL the "People of Israel" to come together for! As solidarity is the foundation of strength! 

We MUST heal and overcome those divisions between the "People of Israel" IMMEDIATELY to maintain a strong, cohesive society as we make an unwavering commitment to the right to OUR self-determination!!

We MUST stand as one in OUR connection to OUR indigenous homeland to ensure the future and security of "People of Israel" and our lone state-Eretz Yisrael -only then will "People of Israel" be able to live as a free people in our land.
