1. Quora Query:
Under what circumstances and how often do some Ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel throw stones at people?
https://www.quora.com/Under-what-circumstances-and-how-often-do-some-Ultra-Orthodox-Jews-in-Israel-throw-stones-at-people/answer/Yair-Davidiy
Ultra-Orthodox Jews in many cases live in neighborhoods of their own. They object to the driving of cars through their streets on the Sabbath Day.
Most Israelis are aware of this and so on the Sabbath Day they use alternate routes.
In the neighborhoods in question very large notice boards request that the sanctity of the Sabbath be respected.
Usually these requests are honored but here and there deliberate provocations occur.
From a social and ecological points of view it does not harm to have a day without automobiles.
The idea is consistent with "Green" environmental consciousness.
If the Sabbath did not already exist we might have wanted to invent it.

2. Amnon Goldberg: Messiah ben Yosef as a Woman?
Question to Brit-Am:
In the book "The Josephic Messiah, Leviathan, Metatron and the Sacred Serpent - the Secret Doctrine of the Vilna Gaon volume II" (2009), the author Joel Bakst brings (p. 41) from the Kol Hator ("The Song of the Turtledove") attributed to Rabbi Hillel of Shklov, student of the Vilna Gaon, that the term "'Moshiach ben Yosef' is a super-archetype i.e. an all encompassing collective consciousness", and that he can manifest as a woman e.g. "Queen Esther was the Moshiach ben Yosef of her generation" (Kol Hator, Bechina 8). And may even manifest as a non-Jew e.g. the Persian King Cyrus who permitted the exiled Jews to return to Israel and rebuld the Temple and whom whom Hashem called "My Moshiach" (Yeshaya 45): "Cyrus was in the category of Moshiach ben Yosef" (Kol Hator, Bechina 130).
Orthodox Jews believe that Moshiach ben David will be a literal male descendant of the House of Jesse. But could the much vaguer 'Moshiach ben Yosef', who is only mentioned once in the Talmud (Sukkah 52) and not at all by the Rambam in his Mishneh Torah, actually present on the scene of End Time history to assist the Davidic Messiah, turn out to be a female, or even a non-Jew?!

3. Quora Query:
What is your opinion on Israeli settlers residing in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank)?
https://www.quora.com/What-is-your-opinion-on-Israeli-settlers-residing-in-Judea-and-Samaria-the-West-Bank/answer/Yair-Davidiy
Judah and Samaria are not vast expanses of open land. They are partially settled areas within walking distance (for those used to walking) of the rest of Israel.
These days no-one needs to walk as we saw in the recent Arab Invasion of southern Israel from Gaza. Judah and Samaria are not really saparate areas from the rest of Israel.
They overlap with them, intertwine, and share the same physical and ecological foundations. Israel NEEDS to be in those areas to protect itself. Protection means settlement.
Nothing else is effective in so much as anything is. The Jewish claim to the Land is derived from the Bible. The heart of the Bible is to be found in Judah and Samaria.
Psalm (NASB) 105:
10 THEN HE CONFIRMED IT TO JACOB FOR A STATUTE,
TO ISRAEL AS AN EVERLASTING COVENANT,
11 SAYING, 'TO YOU I WILL GIVE THE LAND OF CANAAN
AS THE PORTION OF YOUR INHERITANCE.'

4. Quora Query:
How much larger would the Jewish population be today if the Holocaust hadn't happened?
https://www.quora.com/How-much-larger-would-the-Jewish-population-be-today-if-the-Holocaust-hadnt-happened/answer/Yair-Davidiy
The present-day world Jewish population is estimated about 15.3 million.
See: Jewish Population Rises to 15.3 Million Worldwide | The Jewish Agency
Wikipedia tells us:
Current Israeli Jewish demographics are characterized by a relatively high fertility rate of 3 children per woman and a stable age distribution.[14] The overall growth rate of Jews in Israel is 1.7% annually.[15] The diaspora countries, by contrast, have low Jewish birth rates, an increasingly elderly age composition, and a negative balance of people leaving Judaism versus those joining.[13]
Also many of those joining are not all doing that in a manner recognized by Orthodox Judaism.
Concerning what the Jewish Population would have been if the Holocaust did not take place estimates vary from ca. 22 Million to 32 million. There are however claims that assimilation (Jews becoming Gentiles or intermarrying with Gentiles) was on the increase and may have reached disastrous proportions if the Holocaust had not happened. This may be compared by immigrants to Israel from Russia today:
cf.
A study released by the Knesset's research office on Wednesday found that nearly three out of every four new immigrants from the former Soviet Union in 2020 were not Jewish according to most interpretations of Jewish law,

Today natural increase in the State of Israel is relatively high for Western Countries. Nevertheless, the number of unborn children whose lives have been terminated by artificial abortion in Israel since the foundation of the State EXCEEDS (POSSIBLY DOUBLES) the number of Jewish Children killed in the Holocaust. From a demographic point of view the loss of Jews may be attributed to both causes.

5. Quora Query:
What is the legal justification for the Israeli settler movement to claim land currently occupied by Palestinians on the basis that the land in question was part of a Jewish kingdom during biblical times?
https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-legal-justification-for-the-Israeli-settler-movement-to-claim-land-currently-occupied-by-Palestinians-on-the-basis-that-the-land-in-question-was-part-of-a-Jewish-kingdom-during-biblical-times/answer/Yair-Davidiy
In reality most of the settlements are made on unoccupied land that is legally purchased. Often exorbitant prices are paid. The areas settled are also strategically located and a Jewish presence is needed. In a few exceptional places like Hebron and the Old City of Jerusalem the grandchildren of Jews who owned certain properties have been enabled to take them back. Nevertheless it is a complicated procedure and sometimes costs a lot of money. It is also rarely authorized though in my opinion it should always be so.
AMOS (NKJV) 9:
14 I WILL RETURN THE CAPTIVITY OF MY PEOPLE ISRAEL, AND THEY WILL REBUILD DESOLATE CITIES AND SETTLE THEM.
The whole Land of Israel was promised to the People of Israel.
Exodus (NASB) 23:
31 I WILL FIX YOUR BOUNDARY FROM THE RED SEA TO
THE SEA OF THE PHILISTINES, AND FROM THE WILDERNESS TO THE RIVER EUPHRATES; FOR
I WILL DELIVER THE INHABITANTS OF THE LAND INTO YOUR HAND, AND YOU WILL DRIVE
THEM OUT BEFORE YOU.
The only fully recognizable remnant at present of the Hebrews are the Jewish People who therefore for the time being stand in for the the rest.
The Jews are descended from the Tribes of Judah, Benjamin, Levi, and representative minorities of the other Tribes of Israel.
DNA findings are unreliable and the methods of classification in our opinion are based on parameters subject to environmental causes. They will have to be revised. Nevertheless for what they are worth they say that the present-day Jews are more than 50% descendants from Middle East populations that is from Judaeans. That is more than sufficient to establish lineal descent due to length of time and continuous ongoing marriage unions. Being Jewish means belonging to the Jewish Religion the repository of the Jewish people. Just as a country can naturalize outsiders so can Judaism accept valid newcomers in the Diaspora.
Another point is the Principle of Reciprocity.
The Arabs in Israel are a mixed race of peoples. They are dominated by Sunni Muslims. Once there were Jews and Christians among them but these have been mostly driven out.
The Arabs do not care whether or not their ancestors lived in the Land. It does not matter to them whether or not they are "Old" Stock or virtual newcomers from Egypt, Syria, Bosnia, and all over the Muslim World.
They do not mind who they are or what legal claims they may or may not have.
As far as they are concerned they are of Arabic Culture and Sunni Muslims and therefore want exclusive rights to the Land. By virtue of what? Nothing. Only their desire to be the one and only polity in the region, homogeneous.
The Koran inculcates this attitude within them this and so do their leaders.
For this they are prepared to die, or see others of their kin die. To sacrifice themselves, to get beaten off but to keep on coming back in the hope of getting lucky. They only need to win once and that will be it. Winner take all. The defeated will not get a second chance. Chances are he will no longer exist.
So,
The Israelis need to take the same attitude.
"What's good for the goose is good for the gander!"
Or do it to them or they will do it to you.
Numbers (NKJV) 33:
55 BUT IF YOU DO NOT DRIVE OUT THE INHABITANTS OF THE LAND FROM BEFORE YOU, THEN IT SHALL BE THAT THOSE WHOM YOU LET REMAIN SHALL BE IRRITANTS IN YOUR EYES AND THORNS IN YOUR SIDES, AND THEY SHALL HARASS YOU IN THE LAND WHERE YOU DWELL. 56 MOREOVER IT SHALL BE THAT I WILL DO TO YOU AS I THOUGHT TO DO TO THEM.
Psalm (NASB) 105:
10 THEN HE CONFIRMED IT TO JACOB FOR A STATUTE,
TO ISRAEL AS AN EVERLASTING COVENANT,
11 SAYING, 'TO YOU I WILL GIVE THE LAND OF CANAAN
AS THE PORTION OF YOUR INHERITANCE.'

Jacob (aka Israel) Kept the Law of Tithing: Jacob linked his tithing to a Return to the House of his Father. We can do the same.
Genesis (NIV) 28:
18 EARLY THE NEXT MORNING JACOB TOOK THE STONE HE HAD PLACED UNDER HIS HEAD AND SET IT UP AS A PILLAR AND POURED OIL ON TOP OF IT.
19 HE CALLED THAT PLACE BETHEL, THOUGH THE CITY USED TO BE CALLED LUZ.
20 THEN JACOB MADE A VOW, SAYING, IF GOD WILL BE WITH ME AND WILL WATCH OVER ME ON THIS JOURNEY I AM TAKING AND WILL GIVE ME FOOD TO EAT AND CLOTHES TO WEAR
21 SO THAT I RETURN SAFELY TO MY FATHERS HOUSEHOLD, THEN THE LORD WILL BE MY GOD
22 AND THIS STONE THAT I HAVE SET UP AS A PILLAR WILL BE GODS HOUSE, AND OF ALL THAT YOU GIVE ME I WILL GIVE YOU A TENTH.
MALACHI 3:
10 BRING ALL THE TITHES INTO THE STOREHOUSE,
THAT THERE MAY BE FOOD IN MY HOUSE,
AND TRY ME NOW IN THIS,
SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS,
'IF I WILL NOT OPEN FOR YOU THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN
AND POUR OUT FOR YOU SUCH BLESSING
THAT THERE WILL NOT BE ROOM ENOUGH TO RECEIVE IT.
Proverbs 3:
9 HONOR THE LORD WITH YOUR WEALTH
AND WITH THE FIRST OF ALL YOUR PRODUCE,
10 SO YOUR BARNS WILL BE FILLED WITH ABUNDANCE,
AND YOUR VATS WILL BURST OPEN WITH NEW WINE.
