About Arnon Soffer
- Arnon Soffer (born 24 December 1935) is an Israeli geographer and a professor of Geography and environmental sciences, specialising in water issues and demography.
- Soffer is one of the founders of the University of Haifa.
- He is known for his research into demographic, water, environmental, political, and strategy issues of the state of Israel. Soffer has been vocal about the very existence of Palestinians as posing a "demographic threat" in that they may not be a minority population and thus they are a threat by the ability to vote.
- His alleged obsession with the demographic threat posed by Arabs led to some of his colleagues at the University of Haifa nicknaming him "Arnon the Arab-counter", a joking reference to the fact that the Hebrew surname Soffer literally means "one who counts".
- As such he has been credited with working to implement the "separation policy" of Israel.
- This has been labeled by some as modeling an apartheid protocol.
