in the middle east everyone is out trying to pull one over on everyone else and always scheming for personal enrichment. the scheming has been honed and evolved over generations, nay millennia, in a relentless arms race.

of course in non-middle-eastern countries dumb goyim don't know what hit them when you unleash arab/jew scheming on them

lebanese are neither arab nor jew, and they are in fact literally goyim

Have you ever met a Lebanese person? They don't look Arabic at all. Look at the "Prominent Lebanese Figures" picture - you're telling me those people are ARABIC?! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanese_diaspora

Some of my best friends growing up were Lebanese, and I thought they were regular white people until I found out in high school their grandparents were all from Lebanon.

you could plausibly say the copts in egypt are not arab. but the lebanese maronites are arab.

iraqith are genetically methopotamian! he lisped

copts aren’t arabs anymore than phoenicians are arab

The study also found that the Bronze Age inhabitants of Sidon, a major Canaanite city-state in modern-day Lebanon, had the same genetic profile as people who lived 300 to 800 years earlier in present-day Jordan.

Later known as Phoenicians, the Canaanites have a murky past. Nearly all of their own records have been destroyed over the centuries, so their history has been mostly pieced together from archaeological records and the writings of other ancient peoples.

Archaeologists at the Sidon excavation site have been unearthing ancient Canaanite secrets for the last 19 years in the still-inhabited Lebanese port city. They have uncovered 160 burials from the Canaanite period alone, including children buried in jars and adults placed in sand, said Claude Doumet-Serhal, director of the excavation.

The DNA of ancient Canaanites lives on in modern-day Lebanese, genetic analysis shows

The Canaanites lived at the crossroads of the ancient world.

In a territory that would later be known as the Middle East, they experienced wars, conquests and occupations over thousands of years. As a result, evolutionary geneticists expected their DNA to reflect substantial mixing with incoming populations.

A new genetic analysis shows that scientists were wrong. According to a study in the American Journal of Human Genetics, today’s Lebanese share a whopping 93% of their DNA with ancient Canaanites who lived nearly 4,000 years ago.

The study also found that the Bronze Age inhabitants of Sidon, a major Canaanite city-state in modern-day Lebanon, had the same genetic profile as people who lived 300 to 800 years earlier in present-day Jordan.

Evolutionary geneticists are taking the work a step further.

Aided by new DNA sampling techniques, they sequenced the whole genomes of five individuals found in Sidon who lived about 3,700 years ago.

The team compared the genomes of these ancient Canaanites with those of 99 Lebanese people currently living in the country, as well as with previously published genetic data from modern and ancient populations across Europe and Asia.

First, they investigated the genetic ancestry of the Canaanites themselves. They found that these Bronze Age inhabitants of Sidon shared about half their DNA with local Neolithic peoples and the other half with Chalcolithic Iranians. Interestingly, this genetic profile is nearly identical to the one evolutionary geneticist Iosif Lazaridis and his team found last year in Bronze Age villagers near ‘Ain Ghazal in modern-day Jordan.

This suggests that Canaanites were spread across a wide region during the Bronze Age, from urban societies on the coast to farming societies further inland. It also supports the idea that different Levantine cultural groups — such as the Moabites, Israelites and Phoenicians — had a common genetic background, the study authors said.

By comparing the lengths of similar strands of DNA, the researchers determined that the genetic mixing of the Levantine and Iranian peoples happened between 6,600 and 3,550 years ago. If they had more ancient DNA samples from the region, they could come up with a more precise estimate, they added.

Next, the team compared the Canaanite genome with the genetic makeup of people who currently inhabit the ancient Canaanite cities. So they collected DNA from 99 modern Lebanese people — Druze, Muslim, and Christian alike.

As expected, they found some new additions to the Lebanese genome since the Bronze Age. About 7% of modern Lebanese DNA originates from eastern Steppe peoples found in what is now Russia — an ancestry not seen in the Bronze Age Canaanites or their ancestors.

But what really surprised the team was what was missing from the DNA of today’s Lebanese.

“If you look at the history of Lebanon — after the Bronze Age, especially — it had a lot of conquests,” said Marc Haber, a study leader from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Hinxton, England. He and his colleague Chris Tyler-Smith expected to see greater genetic contributions from multiple conquering peoples, and they were surprised that as much as 93% of the Lebanese genome is shared with their Canaanite predecessors.

Though a 7% genetic influx from the Steppe seems very small, that number might be covering some hidden complexities, said Lazaridis, who worked on the Bronze Age Jordanian samples but was not involved in the new study.

Not much is known about the migrations of these eastern Steppe populations, he said. If the genomes of the incoming people were only half Steppe, for example, 14% of the Lebanese genome could have come from the new migrants.

Haber and Tyler-Smith said they want to explore this complexity further.

“Who were those eastern migrants? Where did they come from? And why did they migrate toward the Levant region?” Haber said. Analyzing more samples from different locations and time periods could lead to an answer.

The team also wanted to know if the individuals from Sidon are more similar to modern-day Lebanese than to other modern Eurasian populations.

Despite small genetic variations between the three religious groups caused by preferential mating over time, the Lebanese genome is not widely varied. As a whole, the Lebanese people have more genetic overlap with the Canaanites from Sidon than do other modern Middle Eastern populations such as Jordanians, Syrians or Palestinians.

nobody thinks that 'moroccan arabs' are descended from saudi camel herders, but they are for all intents and purposes still 'arab' today.

Our success in other countries isn't just financial, Lebanese Maronites, in contrast to say Muslims, will get involved in government, etc. Go to Brazil, Venezuela, fuck go to Trinidad and Tobago; we're everywhere and if you ask the locals they usually have a positive impression and love our food.

Another big historical advantage was always education. My dad was sent BACK to Lebanon to go to boarding school, got his French Baccalaureate, and graduated from flagship state school in the US before he turned 21 because he tested out of a ton of shit. Historically, our primary and secondary has always been solid, and contributions from the French definitely didn't hurt.

Finally, we come with ZERO of the other baggage Muslims and Jews bring with them. Pork? You bet. Alcohol? Drinks on us. Wanna party and get laid? Everyone went to Beirut to do that, and our women are generally pretty top notch. Even our priests can be married if they were before they were ordained; so no little boy shit like Irish and Italian pedos.

So, when you're down to earth, fun, and not uptight with a stick up your ass because of religious oddities, it's a good recipe for social success.

Take a look at Brazil, which has more people of Lebanese blood in the world, yup, Brazil has more Lebanese than Lebanon itself. These people run shit pure shit scam companies that don't contribute to their country and countrymen.

The Lebanese in mexico are also corrupt as fuck. Carlos slim who is of Lebanese blood is a huge fraud. I hope Mexicans hang these scam artists.

The problem with this line of thinking by the Lebanese is that it just turns the country into shit. Everyone suffers and everyone is worse off, including them. These ppl deserve a bullet to the head.

But the Lebanese unethical and scheming business practices are even more dangerous because they the Mexican citizens don't see them as a threat because Lebanese are so damn good at playing the caring, honest business person "just trying to feed his children."

they just needed to be freed from the muslim yoke (as persians do).

Also, pre civil war it was a great country. Because of the civil war there are now more lebanese outside of lebanon.
