Historian Joan Peters shows in ""From Time Immemorial,""

The citation of this book gives some insight into the nature of that article and its author. Some background on Ms. Peters' book:

<<< That a scholarly work meets with critical acclaim would hardly be news,
were it not for the fact that From Time Immemorial is among the most
spectacular frauds every published on the Arab-Israeli conflict. In a field
littered with crass propaganda, forgeries, and fakes, this is no mean
distinction. But Peters's book has thoroughly earned it.

The fraud in Peters's book is so pervasive and systematic that it is hard
to pluck out a single thread without getting entangled in the whole
unravelling fabric. To begin with, the fraud falls into two basic
categories. First, the evidence that Peters adduces to document massive
illegal Arab immigration into Palestine is almost entirely falsified. Second,
the conclusions that Peters draws from her demographic study of Palestine's
indigenous Arab population are not borne out by the data she presents. To
confound the reader further, Peters resorts to plagiarism. >>>
