she has quite a lot of quote and maps and resources all of which she backs up.
i have heard her favorably reveiwed by many people in this area. i wonder with
a bibliography as big as the book how she could be so wrong. she names the
people she quotes and i have these quotes from other sources.
i have heard mark twain quoted in a few lines, but she quotes a whole letter of
his in which he speaks of his diappointment with the lack of people and the
desolation of the land.
i dont' use just one person, i have read much of what she said elsewere. just
didn't have the sources she quoted to back them up. it is kinda hard to dicker
with the very people who said those things isn't it?
how can you screw up the actual census records or officals who say these
things? also many of the arabs she quote are very pro israel?
she was the white house consultant on the middle east in `1977 and lectured
extensivelly on the middle east.
Philip m Hauser Director Emeritus Population Research Center, University of
Chicago and former acting director of the U.S.Census states:" her book provides
demographic and hsitoric perspectives which have been inexplicably and
substantially ingorned until now."
Saul Bellows, S.D. Gotein, the Institute of Sdvanced Study, Princeton. William
v. O'Brian Gerogetown University , the New Rebulic, National Review, Altantic
Monthy, Los Angeles time, Toronto Star and many many more are witness that some
one thinks she is saying some thing worth will.
i have heard people dispute small things in her book but never dispute the
whole contents.

I would not use Peters as a source. Most scholars, including those who are
more sympathetic to the Zionist cause will not use her data, referring to
it instead as pseudo-scholarship, since most of her own sources are not
credible or some source quoting from another source who is quoting from
yet another source and some of it has been refuted. It was poorly
researched and seems now to be overly biased in favor of her conclusions.
It is appealing to use her as a source to support your own conclusions and
agenda but it doesn't do you or your cause any good to do so.
