Remove link[edit]

I think this link should be removed: (Number 43) http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_C&cid=1246346385064&pagename=Zone-English-News/NWELayout The author does nothing to refute the claims made by the subject of this article. He merely states that the claims are not true but provides no contradictory evidence. As such, it is of little use as a reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.183.6.123 (talk) 20:05, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Family background[edit]

According to Haaretz (link), Misinai's parents of from Ternopil, not Germany:

מסיני נולד בירושלים להורים יוצאי טרנופול שבגליציה, שעלו לארץ באוניית מעפילים ב-1939 ביום שבו פרצה מלחמת העולם השנייה.—Biosketch (talk) 12:03, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism section[edit]

From the article: "His most notable Arab Israeli critic is the former Balad MK, Azmi Bishara, who dismissed his thesis as yet another Jewish plot to remove the Palestinians from their land."

I am not able to open the link that is refered to afterwards, but I do not understand this argument. How could this be used as an argument to remove the Palestinians? To me it seems to be the opposite. It would be more logical to use it as an argument that the Palestinians has at least as much right to the land as the Jews. I really do not understand how this could be used to the disadvantage of the Palestinians. I would have thought that it was mainly the other side who would dislike it. --Oddeivind (talk) 10:00, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Misinai traces the beginning of the Arab–Israeli conflict and a Palestinian "Arab" identity to the simultaneous immigration of the Jews from various places and Brethren of Israel (from the east), to the land west of the Jordan river from 1840 to 1947. He states that by 1914 the Brethren of Israel became a very large group among Palestinians there and would remain so, until they were mostly expelled during the Palestinian exodus in 1948. He argues that these people have now returned to their ancestral homeland east of the Jordan river, and possess no right to the land of Israel. Synotia (moan) 09:40, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Methodology[edit]

I'm curious as to his methodology, and don't see any information on the wiki page. Thanks in advance to anyone who can fill this information in. פֿינצטערניש (Fintsternish), she/her (talk) 17:15, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken a look at his work on Amazon and the free brochure on his website, and all in all it's quite amateurish. He departs from weird premises, lists census tables formulated in vague/weird ways, etc. While it can be an interesting read, add a lot of salt and remember it's a book by some guy who did not study social science methodology, not a peer-reviewed publication by a reputable institution.

scientific reaction[edit]

this is related to the previous points especially methodology but does the reaction section have any assessment of his views and work from scientists or other researchers eg geneticists, anthropologists, archaeologists, historians ??? it all seems to be the political, ideological, religious reaction — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.11.163.59 (talk) 10:15, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
