Zionist Racism Part 2 Arthur Ruppin By

Ahmad Imran
A cursory Google search on Arthur Ruppin will indicate the man to be a highly decorated sociologist and economist. He was born in Rawicz on March 1st 1876 , Poland which was part of German Empire at the time, and accordingly is commonly perceived and touted as German rather than Polish for reason that will become clear upon further reading. He became active in the Zionist Movement and was sent by David Wolfsohn to Palestine where he opened the Eretz Yisrael Office to facilitate acquiring money, and the purchase of absentee landlord land to enable the immigration of German Jews into Palestine. Ruppin was instrumental in establishing the system of Kibbutzim, the city of Tel Aviv and shaping health sciences in Israel. Undoubtedly Ruppin is one of the founding fathers of the state of Israel and plethora of academic centers and streets are named after him for a reason. However, there exists a particular angle on history of Zionism and its creators that is usually not talked about much which creates tremendous Cognitive Dissonance for citizens and the denizens of the supporters of the state of Israel. [http://www.brill.com/arthur-ruppin-and-production-pre-israeli-culture] Race and Eugenics Sand tells us that Ruppin being a Darwinist knew that the Jews were no longer a pure race, yet somehow constituted a hereditary unit which legitimized demands of a new homeland. One can easily see the contradictory tones of the rationale in the following manner, This very likeness to the Asiatic peoples, from whom they have been separated for 2000 years, shows that the Jews have remained unchanged, and that in the Jews of today we may say we may have the same people who fought victoriously under King David, who repented their misdeeds under Ezra and Nehemiah, died fighting for freedom under Bar-Kokhba, were the great carriers of trade under between Europe and the Orient in the early Middle Ages.Thus the Jews have not only preserved their great natural racial gifts, but through a long process of selection these gifts have become strengthened. The terrible conditions under which the Jews lived during the last 500 years necessitated a bitter struggle for life in which only the cleverest and strongest survived The result is that in the Jew of today, we have what is in some respects a particular valuable human type. Other nations may have other points of superiority, but in respect of intellectual gifts the Jews can scarcely be surpassed by any nation. Source [Arthur Ruppin, The Jews of Today, London: Bell and Sons, 1913, 216-17] There exists a notion of the Asiatic origin of Jews which was the cause of Anti-Jewish sentiment, yet the separation of 2000 years somehow has maintained their separation as distinct, which Ruppin may suggest as a cause of their racial gifts and their strengthening? Now if the Jews remained separate then there occurred no process of

natural selection as per Darwinian thought. Natural selection would occur in an open system not a xenophobic, separatist closed system as practiced or alleged by the Zionist Jews. Another flaw in the theory is the non-existence of different races, given all humans possess the same number of chromosomes and thus constitute a single human race. http://www.pbs.org/race/001_WhatIsRace/001_00-home.htm Ruppins world view is Europe or Western centric since he does not accord the same attributes to Asiatic Jews making the Ashkenazim Jews superior to Sephardim or Mizrahim Jews when he says, It is perhaps owing to this severe process of selection that the Ashkenazim are today superior in activity, intelligence and scientific capacity to the Sephardim and Arabian Jews, in spite of their common ancestry. [Arthur Ruppin, The Jews of Today, London: Bell and Sons, 1913, 271] Ruppin even doubted that the en masse migration of Non-Ashkenazim Jews would be helpful to the new Jewish (racial) State of Israel, when he pondered But the spiritual and intellectual status of these Jews is so low that an immigration en masse would lower the general cultural standard of the Jews in Palestine and would be bad from several points of view , however later on his book on page 294 , Ruppin changes his mind opining Still, it would be good for small number of Jews from Arab countries to come, for they are satisfied with little and replace Arab laborers. Ruppin shows his true fascist colors by presumably knowing Arab Jewry wanting less and their proper place within this racial Ashkenazim Jewrys elitist society as mere laborers. A society based on social functions as laid out by European perceived notions of staggered superiority making Israel resemble Hindu caste driven society. Assimilation Worse Than Anti-Semitism Regardless of what the justifications for Israel are given today in the post Intifada period, fact remains that the central theme for the racial Jews establishing Israel was to somehow maintain their racial exclusivity where the all encompassing definitions of Jew were being lost to Modernity in aspects of birth right, culture, and religion in the lack of a existing notions of common national origin. Etan Bloom(http://www.xing.com/profile/Etan_Bloom) defines it rather succinctly , Race was at the essence of Zionist cultural identity. Since Zionism lacked many of the attributes associated with nationhood- common territory, language conduct and custom, race was an Archimedean point for constituting a nation. (Etan Bloom) http://books.google.com/books? id=0kDGomVkrJgC&pg=PA106&lpg=PA106&dq=Arthur+Ruppin+ %2B+eugenics&source=bl&ots=C9vgqRnaML&sig=Is0uGyq7kA06F5Alj0CyES1uIU&hl=en&sa=X&ei=H517ULvnHJDi8gTguIHgAw&ved=0CEIQ6AEwBg#v=one page&q=Arthur%20Ruppin%20%2B%20eugenics&f=false

Bloom cites Ruppins most influential book Juden Der Gegenwart (Jews of the Present) where Ruppin lays out the raison dtre for the creation of the separate homeland as follows, The structure of Judaism, once so solid, is crumbling before our very eyes. Conversion and intermarriage are thinning the ranks of Jews in every direction. http://www.scribd.com/doc/94913834/What-the-Father-Had-in-Mind-Arthur-Ruppin1876-1943-Cultural-Identity-Weltanschauung-and-Action-2007-History-of-EuropeanIdeas

Ruppins fear of assimilation can also be gauged by his statement, It is certain, however, that by intermarriage the race-character is lost, and that descendants of a mixed marriage are not likely to have any remarkable gifts. (Sand, page 263) Connection to Nazis Sand informs us that right until his death Ruppin worked on the demographic struggle for the Jewish race. Ruppin also travelled to Germany, after Adolf Hitler had come to power, to meet with the Hans Gunther deemed the pope of racial theories who was the key personality behind the eradication of the gypsies by quoting Ruppin himself, At Dr. Landauers suggestion, on 11th August I went to Jena to see Professor Gunther, the founder of National-Socialist racial theory. We talked for two hours. Gunther was very affable. He argued that he had no copyright on the concept of Aryanism, and agreed with me that Jews are not inferior, only different, and that the problem must be resolved fairly. ( Arthur Ruppin, Chapters of My Life, Tel Aviv: Am Oved,1968( in Hebrew), 223;see also ibid., 181-2). Earlier in 1900 Ruppin took part in a debate competition where the topic was, What may be learned from the theory of evolution about internal political developments and political legislation, taking the second prize on his discussion on Darwinism and Social Sciences which became his doctoral dissertation two years later. The first prize went to Wilhelm Schallmayer who is deemed a pioneer in eugenics and much revered by the Nazis. ( Shlomo Sand, The Invention of the Jewish People, Verso 2009 UK, page 264) Tom Segev in his book The Seventh Million tells us that Georg Landauer carried letters in German authenticating the Jewish Agency to conduct talks with the Third Reich of the Nazis for the purpose of negotiating vocational training and the transfer of money for German Jewish immigrants on their way to British occupied TransJordan. That letter was signed by none other than Ruppin and Ben-Gurion. The Nazi regime was thus complicit in the establishment of the Israel as opposed to popular notions in the Broader Middle East. ( Tom Segev, The Seventh Million, Harper Collins 1993 Canada, Page 29) Norman Bentwich was a English Zionist who was a pacifist and sought accommodation with the Arabs but his inaugural speech at the Hebrew University was broken up by Jabotinsky type hardliners which prompted the following pronouncement from Ruppin,The whole world is mentally sick, much more so, we Jews. (Geoffrey

Wheatcroft, The Controversy of Zion, Addison-Wesley Publishing Company 1996, Page 183) One has to agree with Ruppin only partially, in that the staunchest criticism of Zionism and Israel has also come from Jews , both the cultural types and the religious ones along with other rational people of the world. Of late many Israelis who have now open their eyes in the rational world have had a chance to view their creationist myth history with criticism to set the record straight, yet most still support the state of Israel, which is to be understood meaning they inherited the intellectual mess created by their forefathers and their sole inheritance of flawed geography is not of their making and they should not be held responsible for it and thus the need for a dialogue. However, the ghosts of Jabotinsky and Ruppin haunt them in the likes of Likudnik and Shasniks. What that means for Middle Easterners? It is not enough for them to understand and learn the nuances of the Original Sin of the modernist Jewrys mimicking Western Secular thought of eugenics and race centrist nationalism, but even if the ignoble bigoted and xenophobic identity politics are to be ignored, the constant gnawing thought that Zionism, the state of Israel and its actions are ultimately against the interests of Broader Middle East cannot be ignored. Zionism, Hindutva and Islamism are Ideological Externalities of Modernity and worthy of being marginalized. Yet the Broader Middle Easterners live in a world that demands giving this Zionist social experiment legitimacy and credence. There are social, economic, political, regional, global, strategic and tactical ramifications for nations, and populations that do not adhere to or bow down to the secular sacred cow of the status quo. The permanent members of the UN Security council who manage the Post WWII status quo, the global mainstream media, and post colonial leadership of the Middle Eastern nations who cultivate the Caesar-Herod Nexus have become the Pharisees and Sadducees of the modern world. Arthur Ruppin and his legacy torment Israelis and Zionists all over the world. It proves that the seeds of Zionism were planted well before the Holocaust occurred as opposed to what is commonly portrayed being the reason for the establishment of the state of Israel. It proves beyond the benefit of the doubt that most Western media has the same racial and civilizational pro-Zionist bias, otherwise how else can the Middle Easterner explain the medias lack of intellectual honesty to do the dirty laundry of the origins of their support for Israel and the lack luster of the origins of Western racial and eugenic ideas. It must be noted that Arthur Ruppin and the other Zionist underlings were not unique in their racial and eugenic origins of their ideas but were a reflection of the broader European and Western ideological constructs of their time. Arthur Ruppin may be a revered personality in Zionist circles but he was no more than a shtetl schmuck radicalized by Anti-Semitism empowered by a deranged identity politics and the Ideological Externalities of Modernity.
