and that in the Age of the Almighty Smartphone! Would you believe it? So much for "progress"!

from Jerusalem. The everlasting Torah laws will be enforced and if the leader of a nation does not visit the Jewish Messiah in Jerusalem where King David is King of Israel and the Messiah Yahshua is the High Priest and has the title of His Father haShem of King of Kings and other titles, there will be no rain for that nation whose leader failed to visit Yahshua the Messiah in Jerusalem. There is a resolution before the United Nations that will be voted on within a month calling for the dividing of Jerusalem, giving part of Jerusalem to the Palestinians as a Capitol. If that resolution is passed, that is the Covenant with Death of Daniel and Joel, Jeremiah and Ezekiel and means the Jewish Messiah Yahshua will return within seven years (2022 if the resolution is passed in 2015). After Armageddon if it is in 2022, the JEWISH Messiah will reign on the earth and the Torah Laws will be enforced worldwide. If one dies during that thousand year Millenial reign, the only resurrection is to eternal separation from haShem in hell and the lake of fire. Lifespans will be greatly increased and a hundred year old person will still be a child. Yahshua the Messiah will reign with an iron fist. There will be no mercy for Torah breakers and there will be a death penalty for fornication, adultery, sodomy, blasphemy and other Levitical death penalty sins. THAT is how the world will be for Judaism in 2050. Only true believers in the Torah laws (song of Moses) and the Jewish Messiah Yahshua (song of the Lamb) will enter into the Millenium kingdom. People will be born during that thousand years who will be saved eternally or who will not be saved eternally as it is now. It won't be a perfect society until after that seven day from Adam ends and the believers enter the eighth day from Adam. The Holy Scriptures says a thousand years is as a day and a day is as a thousand years with haShem.

My optimistic forecast for Israel's future envisions strong patriots taking leadership in Israel and fostering massive, peaceful and permanent "Palestinian" departure from our land. Free from the terror and burden of hostile "Palestinians", the Jewish birthrate and immigration levels soar!

Israel has been at war for 65 years and populations have far exceeded the 'pessimistic' projections. And do we really think that haredim integrating into the population will cause population to rise faster? Why? I see no reason for this. This is like saying because the sky is blue and the weather is good there will be more people born. Sounds good, but there is no correlation in reality. I think Dr. DellaPergola is injecting personal bias into his forecasts, and this makes me happy. I have heard his previous predictions of doom and now reading through his actual reasoning I can see he is really not a scientist but a politician in scientists clothing and he is completely biased. The contradicting predictions of other groups which predict much faster population growth now seem to have more veracity than Sergio's. Thank you for showing me that you are a hack, sergio!

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says that "Israel" will be gone in 25 years. Actually, that likely will occur a lot sooner, thereby removing the main focal source of geopolitical infection from the Middle East. There always will be a certain Jewish population worldwide, but the Zionist state most certainly will be a thing of the past.

Far fetched, to say the least

Jew haters, like Graczek, are infallibly wrong in all their predictions. The future will see Israel flourish tens of thousands of years after horrid creatures, like Graczek, have crumbled to foul and forgotten dust.

This so-called "demographic expert" failed to predict the collapse of the USSR and the aliyah of 1 milllion Jews in the 1990s. Now, Dellapergola is failing to perceive that much of the Developed World is in a Debt Bubble that is about to do explode. This new crisis will be an order of magnitude worse than the 2008 event and create a new Great Depression a la 1930s. Israel will be relatively immune due to its low total debt to GDP ratio. Yet again, this Leftist expert is blind to the huge aliyah coming our way.

...commenting on the early mammals and predicting their imminent extinction.

With luck, the Iranians will get rid of these black cloaked tormentors. They'll bury Khamenei in some radioactive grave next to one of his glorious power plants with a neon gravestone. The ME is emptying out and those who get along with Israel may have more land for expansion and a bright future.

With a small minority population in a small area maximal survivability is a severe obligation. This means Underground cities missile shield defence and solid Deterrance .

A large Haredi population need not be an economic disaster. In America, Haredim do not have subsidies, still have large families, and yet run businesses in everything from retail to real estate to computer consulting to manufacturing. The key is to take away their subsidies to be lifelong Yeshiva students.

Yeshu will return on the 3rd day like he promised: 2033!

your "optimistic scenario" will never happen but I have another scenario for you .. by 2030 "Israhel" will not exist at all

Well said :) That is the most logical and realistic scenario
