Arthur Ruppin (Hebrew: ארתור רופין; 1 March 1876 – 1 January 1943) was a German Zionist and one of the founders of the city of Tel Aviv. Appointed director of Berlin's Bureau for Jewish Statistics (Büro für Statistik der Juden) in 1904, he moved to Palestine in 1907, and from 1908 was the director of the Palestine Office of the Zionist Organization in Jaffa, organizing Zionist immigration to Palestine. In 1926, Ruppin joined the faculty of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and founded the Department for the Sociology of the Jews. Described posthumously as the "founder of German-Jewish demography" and "father of Israeli sociology", his best-known sociological work was The Jews in the Modern World (1934). He was also a proponent of pseudoscientific race theory.

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
Arthur Ruppin was a German Zionist sociologist and a founder of Tel Aviv who organized Zionist immigration to Palestine. Through 2015 the opening said he left the Brit Shalom binational-state peace movement "after the 1929 Hebron massacre." Today the opening covers his academic career at length but drops the Brit Shalom episode entirely, though massacre survives once in the body. A reader arriving now does not learn that Ruppin abandoned a Jewish-Arab peace initiative specifically because of the 1929 Hebron massacre.
