Fair use rationale for Image:Stamp Ruppin.jpg
Image:Stamp Ruppin.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Eugenics and racial theory
http://www.haaretz.com/the-makings-of-history-revisiting-arthur-ruppin-1.6433 and there are other sources for this topic. Zerotalk 23:04, 10 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Cited to Tom Segev's Haaretz article: "Ruppin believed that realization of Zionism required "racial purity" of Jews, and was inspired by works of anti-semitic thinkers,including some Nazis." That relates to the following text in the Haaretz article: "In part, his views were inspired by the works of anti-Semitic thinkers, including some of the original Nazi ideologists." Missing is mention of Ruppin's influence in the opposite direction. Segev wrote: 'However, a few weeks ago, Tel Aviv University accepted a doctoral thesis by a researcher named Etan Bloom, who found, inter alia, that not only was Ruppin influenced by the theories that engendered Nazi racism, he also had an impact on their formulation. Bloom discovered that Ruppin had a "definitive influence" on the German view of the Jews as a race."' Though not mentioned by Segev, perhaps it would also be worth describing Ruppin's support for Eugenics (from a Google search: )     ←   ZScarpia  12:17, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I downloaded and read several of the relevant articles several years ago, but have never got round to, for want of time, to improving the article with these details, which include his congenial encounter with the head of the Nazi eugenics programme in, if I recall, 1936. They're all on jstor. It's a very important component of Zionist settlement policy, and definitely should be addressed.Nishidani (talk) 12:33, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Bloom's first name appears on publications both as Etan and Eitan. There is also some criticism from Amos Morris-Reich. Quite a lot of literature on this subject can be found. Zerotalk 14:50, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
