Arthur Ruppin , the Father of Zionism , and much more.

[Penelope]

Arthur Ruppin, a German-born lawyer and sociologist, is considered the father of the Zionist national settlement in the Land of Israel, beginning in 1908. Among other things, he was involved in the establishment of Kibbutz Degania and in the early development of Tel Aviv, he was among the founders of Bank Hapoalim and until his death in 1943, he was one of the leaders of the Zionist enterprise. He was also one of the fathers of Hebrew education and Hebrew culture in general; indeed, his outlook influenced the worldview of Moshe Dayan and other notables

Bloom discovered that Ruppin had a "definitive influence" on the German view of the Jews as a race.

For example, Ruppin's own research, some of it carried out at the Hebrew University, offered an explanation for Jews' supposed avarice:

He posited that the Jews who originally lived in the Land of Israel before the destruction of the First Temple, and engaged in agriculture, actually belonged to non-Semitic tribes.
At a certain stage they began mixing with Semitic tribes, something that compromised their racial purity and weakened them. As the Semitic element began to become dominant, it prompted the Jews to leave agriculture and to develop commercial instincts, a heightened lust for money and uncontrollable greed. (that explains it, why the Palestinians are poorer and the Zionist are weatlhy)

Ruppin believed these were correctable flaws, and the first task he demanded of the Zionist enterprise was, therefore, to identify remnants of the "original" or "authentic" group of Jews - those with a direct, biological connection with the ancient, racially pure Israelites. He believed they would be found among the Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern Europe. At that time, Western Jews were already in the midst of a process of assimilation while, in Ruppin's opinion, Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews (from Middle Eastern and North African countries) were experiencing biological atrophy, which cast the fact of their identity as part of the Jewish race in doubt. Therefore, it was only after long hesitation that he authorized bringing Jewish laborers over from Yemen; furthermore, he declared that there were no black Jews.

Well let me say Mr. Ruppin, they were not correctable. Please read the entire article, he actually went about to measure noses and skulls to try and figure out who the real Hebrews were.

Unbelievable, what shall we make of this?

easy for me------because I am a real health care worker------PHRENOLOGY was all the rage among sociologists and even pediatricians-----in the primitive past.
Most health care workers* know what BINET CALIPERS are (primitive past for
sociology and psychiatry-------is----like anything more than 100 years ago). When my little brothers were babies-----the pediatrician took out his calipers and decided that they were really intelligent little tykes.

* make that ---literate health care workers

OFF TOPIC??? you are accusing yourself of being OFF TOPIC penny dear.
try again------you presented a summary of some of the thoughts of an early 20th
century sociologist ---------and I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION>>>>

)))))) Unbelievable, what shall we make of this? ((((((((( your question related
specifically to issues of measuring heads and working out skull dimensions
as putative racial and intelligence and personality trait issues. I answered your
question very nicely-------PHRENOLOGY was all the rage in the early 20th century---
some pediatricians carried calipers along with their stethoscopes. Very few of the sociologists of that time made a whole lot of sense if read today---but some
were brilliant -----you seem to have missed lots--------in school and in life. uhm---
google phrenology--------a health care worker should know. do you have an unusually small head?

Off topic, do need to report you, comment on the OP or just don't comment.

feel free to report------I commented specifically on the OP -----have you googled phrenology yet? It is a very interesting topic -----one to which there are very clear
allusions in the OP. Do you need help? do you know what a CALIPER is?
Feel free to ask questions----or use your search functions

 

[irosie91]

(that explains it, why the Palestinians are poorer and the Zionist are wealthy) <<<
this ^^ seems to be your comment---Penelope------which you seem
to imagine based on your OP------refers to a theory that jewish "avarice"
is based on being "mixed with semites"--------thus you are suggesting
that palestanians are NOT SEMITES (????) are you sure you want to
make such an assertion? By the theory you seem to like best-----
it is the semite thing that creates AVARICE Palestinians insist that
they are semites

 

[irosie91]

regarding the OP on ARTHUR RUPPIN----anyone who wonders from whence the islamo naziette lump of scum, Penelope---stumbled into ARTHUR RUPPIN----she got it from an intensely Nazi shit website SPENCERWATCH. spencerwatch is devoted to slandering ROBERT SPENCER------a person who is of Turkish catholic ancestry----who writes about the horrors his Christian ancestors faced under the stench of Islamic rule and the reality of DHIMMIA----ie the position of both Christians and jews under the stink of shariah. Arthur Ruppin has been a topic on their "shit list" because he was an early Zionist leader

I quit reading at this line. Nothing to see here.

 

[whitehall]

The fact that Ruppin is cited and the word "Zionism" is used is an indication that the post is more about politics than history. Trying to figure out who the first Hebrews were is like trying to figure out who the first Americans were. Israel is an undisputed sovereign nation.

in the early 20th century-------sociologists were measuring the heads of native
americans too-------and had developed a concept about those measurements
and the MONGOLIAN RACE-----and the bering strait----remember???

it did not pan out all that well
