1. Answer to Quora Query:
Why did Britain allow the Jews to establish a national homeland in Palestine?
https://www.quora.com/Why-did-Britain-allow-the-Jews-to-establish-a-national-homeland-in-Palestine/answer/Yair-Davidiy
Technically speaking the British did not allow the Jews to establish a national homeland. They introduced an environment enabling the Jews to do it themselves with or without British permission. This was Zionism in action. Zionism is concomitant with Judaism. Jews always wanted to return to their land. Modern Zionism arose in the late 1700s. It tried to create a formal political framework for Zionist aspirations. In Britain the Restoration Movement had already gathered force from the 1600s. It wanted to return the Jews to the Holy Land like King Cyrus of Ancient Persia did in the Bible. Scripture itself conveys the feeling that all Israelites in principle belong to the Land of Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates. The British read the Bible. There were also those who believed (as we later find with Lieutenant-Colonel John Henry Patterson, Colonel Richard Meinertzhagen, Orde Wingate - nicknamed "The Friend" - "He taught us everything we know" - Moshe Dayan) that they too were of Israelite descent. Establishing a Jewish Kingdom in that area stood to reason. The Jews had suffered over recent decades from pogroms in Russia and elsewhere and a solution had been looked for. Zionist activists (like Chaim Weizmann) had cultivated political and social links with British VIPs. The British had interests in the area and some of them wanted to stay there. All these factors seem to have come together with the Balfour Declaration of 1917.
On the whole the British kept their promise.
Before WW1 the Jewish population of the Holy Land may have been close to 40,000. As a result of Turkish policies, famine, plague, etc., the number of Jews by 1917 had diminished to ca. 15,000. From 1917 to 1948 the Jewish population increased to ca. 600, 000! All these were healthy and relatively even wealthy. The Jewish community had its own incipient army and an infrastructure that virtually overnight became a full-fledged Modern State. Under whose aegis did this take place? The British!
In the same way as we do not conceal the sins of Britain so should we not exaggerate them. Towards the end the appeasement Government in Britain of Chamberlain restricted Jewish immigration before and during World War-2. After that came the left-wing anti-Jewish attitudes of Ernest Bevin in the Labor Government of Clement Atlee. This continued till 1948 and the Israeli War of Independence. How much damage the anti-Zionists in British Government really did in the overall scheme is debatable. Jews kept coming. On the whole they were allowed in and even assisted. Some British soldiers and officials helped the Arabs. Others aided the Jews. When the time came to vote on the acceptance of the new state Britain abstained. Britain could not really vote for the Partition due to its obligation to both parties. Britain abstained BUT recommended to its Dominions and offshoots to vote for the recognition of Israel. The first nation to vote in favor was Australia. The first to vote against was Afghanistan.

2. Answer to Quora Query:
Do Jews want to rebuild their temple on the temple mount and remove the current obstacle in order to fully declare Jewish sovereignty and Israel as a holy state?
https://www.quora.com/Do-Jews-want-to-rebuild-their-temple-on-the-temple-mount-and-remove-the-current-obstacle-in-order-to-fully-declare-Jewish-sovereignty-and-Israel-as-a-holy-state/answer/Yair-Davidiy
Jews at present do not want to rebuild the Temple. Even if they could Jewish Law does not allow it. In my opinion neither Jews nor Arabs should be allowed up there. The area should be closed of. According to tradition the Messiah son of Joseph who (like Elijah) precedes the Messiah son of David will bring the Lost Ten Tribes back and the Temple shall be rebuilt. Do not hold your breath for this to take place but do not dismiss it either.

3. Why are Israelites still called "Jews"?
From BaneOf TheUndead
Shalom Yair, hope all is well
Can you give THE definitive answer as to whether or not the 10 tribes can also be called "Jews"? Logically it seems like they're distinct from Yehudah, obviously, bt it seems like I"ve read Jewish opinions which say that they can be called JEws, even if they aren't from Judah, and it fittingly comes, I think, from the megillah reading, where a rabbi observed that someone said "there are men of Gd ("Jews") in the city", and this referred to all Isaelites, not just the ones of Judah?
============
Brit-Am Reply:
The Ten Tribes ARE NOT called Jews in the Bible. Jews are either (1) descendants of the Tribe of Judah; OR (2) descendants of Isr5aelites who once inhabited the Kingdom of Judah. Mordecai for instance in the Book of Esther is called "Mordecai the Jew" even though he was from the Tribe of Benjamin.
cf.
Esther (NLT) 2:
5 AT THAT TIME THERE WAS A JEWISH MAN IN THE FORTRESS OF SUSA WHOSE NAME WAS MORDECAI SON OF JAIR. HE WAS FROM THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN AND WAS A DESCENDANT OF KISH AND SHIMEI.
or (3) converts to the Jewish religion.
Most People (both Jews and Gentiles) have hardly heard of the Lost Ten Tribes. They know only about Jews so they (mistakenly) refer to all Israelites as Jews.
Nothing can be done about this apart from publishing information corncerning the Lost Ten Tribes and Hebrew ancestry.

4. Did George VI Abuse His Power?
Query from Amnon Goldberg:
You who have written about the British maybe having LTT ancestry, and the Germans being of Edomitic ancestry, will find this video about King George VI and his German/Nazi mishpocheh after WW2 interesting.

Brit-Am Reply:
I looked at the Video in question.
It shows how the British Monarch helped some of his relatives recover property and possessions.
To my mind there is no big deal there.
The King helped a few of his German relatives. Some of them had flirted with the Nazis or even served with them. Nearly all Germans did the same.
In fact a disproportionate number of the German Higher aristocracy were against Hitler. Some of them joined plots against Hitler. The Video mentioned this.
Goebbels towards the end wrote about the need to exterminate all the German nobility.
In Britain, the Royal Family, especially the Queen Mother, helped the Jews even though they still had prejudices here and there.
They were loyal. They were important and they did valuable work in sustaining the morale of the English Nation.
Ecward-viii, the one who married Mrs Simpson and abdicated, seems to have been a bad egg but many families have their black sheep.
As far as I am concerned every Nazi should perhaps have been exterminated but since this was not done we need to differentiate.
Before the creation of the German Empire in 1870 anti-Jewish sentiments existed in most German Kingdoms. In the east and north is was worse than in the south and west.
Hanover was relatively mild compared to the others. This is attributed to the English connection.
All the monarchs of Europe were inter-related. Some of them were anti-Jewish but others were not. The attitude of the King or Queen seems to have reflected that of his subjects.
This is interesting and worth looking into.
We find this also with the Hebrew in Ancient Egypt.
There is a Midrash saying that Pharaoh initially did not want to oppress the Hebrews but was forced to do so by his subjects.

5. Psalm (NLT) 11.
For the choir director: A psalm of David.
1 I TRUST IN THE LORD FOR PROTECTION.
SO WHY DO YOU SAY TO ME,
"FLY LIKE A BIRD TO THE MOUNTAINS FOR SAFETY!"
2 THE WICKED ARE STRINGING THEIR BOWS
AND FITTING THEIR ARROWS ON THE BOWSTRINGS.
THEY SHOOT FROM THE SHADOWS
AT THOSE WHOSE HEARTS ARE RIGHT.
3 THE FOUNDATIONS OF LAW AND ORDER HAVE COLLAPSED.
WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO?
4 BUT THE LORD IS IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE;
THE LORD STILL RULES FROM HEAVEN.
HE WATCHES EVERYONE CLOSELY,
EXAMINING EVERY PERSON ON EARTH.
5 THE LORD EXAMINES BOTH THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED.
HE HATES THOSE WHO LOVE VIOLENCE.
6 HE WILL RAIN DOWN BLAZING COALS AND BURNING SULFUR ON THE WICKED,
PUNISHING THEM WITH SCORCHING WINDS.
7 FOR THE RIGHTEOUS LORD LOVES JUSTICE.
THE VIRTUOUS WILL SEE HIS FACE.

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.
