        Jews are considered Semitic people. Arabs are also Semitic people, but not all Arabic-speakers in the Levant are ethnically Arabs (see Lebanon/Syria ethnic groups).

        Jews are an ethno-religious group, a grouping of people who are unified by a common religious and ethnic background.

        Sei palesemente ossessionato da questi “Arabs” che vedi anche la notte. Cioé questi si fanno la guerra tutti i giorni e te inizi a fare un miscuglio tra i due, mi sa che se ti trova il Mossad sono —– —–.

            Only someone as dense as you would lie and say he said Lebanese and Syrians aren’t Levantine, when what he said is that they are not ethnically/racially Arabs, which is literally a factual statement.
