- From Time Immemorial: The Origins of the Arab–Jewish Conflict over Palestine is a 1984 book by Joan Peters, published by Harper & Row, about the demographics of the Arab population of Palestine and of the Jewish population of the Arab world before and after the formation of the State of Israel. It was initially positively received by reviewers such as Barbara W. Tuchman. A short time later, the book's central claims were contradicted by Norman Finkelstein, then a PhD student at Princeton University, who argued that Peters misrepresented or misunderstood the statistics on which she based her thesis. Reviewers from across the political spectrum subsequently endorsed Finkelstein's findings that Peters's statistical analysis was faulty, and by the time the book was released in Britain, the book was widely regarded as wrongheaded at best and a fraud at worst, including by historians that were politically conservative or supportive of Israel. Ian Gilmour, a former British Secretary of State for Defence, ridiculed the book as "pretentious and preposterous" and argued that Peters had repeatedly misrepresented demographic statistics, while Israeli historian Yehoshua Porath called it "sheer forgery." Though the book is largely regarded as discredited in academic circles, it has had a politically significant legacy. Its central thesis, that Palestinians are not actually indigenous to the land, but the descendants of Arab immigrants from surrounding countries, is a common trope in contemporary Israeli politics. In 2004, From Time Immemorial was the subject of another academic controversy, when Finkelstein accused Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz of largely plagiarizing his book The Case for Israel from it.

- From Time Immemorial: The Origins of the Arab-Jewish Conflict over Palestineé um controverso livro de Joan Peters, publicado em 1984, sobre a demografia da Palestina, analisando a população árabe e a população judaica do mundo árabe antes e depois da formação do Estado de Israel. A autora alega que os palestinos seriam imigrantes recentes, ou seja, que na realidade não há um povo palestino. O livro se tornou bastante popular e recebeu muitas críticas positivas nos EUA (Washington Post, New York Times). Suas análises demográficas foram ratificadas por Philip Hauser, professor de demografia na Universidade de Chicago. Porém o acadêmico Norman Finkelstein checou todas as referências do livro e demonstrou que se tratava de uma fraude. Finkelstein inicialmente não conseguiu publicar seu trabalho nos EUA, exceto em uma pequena revista de esquerda, In These Times. Segundo Finkelstein, o livro era baseado em extenso plágio de um trabalho de Ernst Frankenstein publicado nos anos 1940. Outros críticos, incluindo Noam Chomsky, Edward Said e Yehoshua Porath endossaram as críticas de Finkelstein. Já Barbara W. Tuchman e Daniel Pipes endossaram a tese central do livro, apesar da inconsistência dos dados. Quando o livro foi posteriormente lançado na Inglaterra, foi imediatamente reconhecido como um engodo e por esse motivo atacado pela crítica inglesa (London Review, Observer, Times Literary Supplement), o que fez com que os jornais americanos publicassem novas resenhas, com opiniões diferentes, reconhecendo o livro como um embuste.
