Original Note:
The claim that most Palestinians are actually descended from post-First Aliyah Arab immigrants was first presented by Joan Peters in her 1984 book 'From Time Immemorial'. The book and its claims were debunked and widely considered fraudulent after publication. https://www.nytimes.com/1985/11/28/books/dispute-flares-over-book-on-claims-to-palestine.html https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1986/01/16/mrs-peterss-palestine/ https://www.foreignaffairs.com/reviews/capsule-review/1996-05-01/image-and-reality-israel-palestine-conflict
