[edit] History
Lebanses People are decendants of Phoencians whom were Caananites from north Canaan. They colonized much of the Mediterranean. They were semitic. They were first conquered by Assyrians and assimilated into Assyrian culture. This was later repeated by Romans, Greeks, and Arabs.
- This table is very misleading. How can there be 7 million lebanese in Brazil, when the latest brazilian census shows that only 1.5 million people are arabs and other ethnic minoroties. maybe there is a large lebanese community in brazil, but they consider themselves brazilian not lebanese because of the long time they have been there for. Also none of these figures in the table have sources. lebanese Australians are 167,000 according to the 2001 census, and in america they are 440,000. In canada they are 140,000. In lebanon, lebanese are not 3.8 million. There are 200,000 palestians, and a large number of syrian workers still live in Lebanon.
[edit] non-Arab Middle East Christians
I think people discussing here should have a look at the doings of some anti-Arab Christian activists at the Assyrian-related articles. They even designed a totally inaccurate and propagandist Syriacs box, mentioning Maronites and Melkites as "Syriacs", thus non-Arabs, which I proposed for deletion here.

[edit] Phoenicians
http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0410/feature2/online_extra.html "Today's Lebanese, the Phoenicians, and the Canaanites before them are all the same people." http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0410/feature2/index.html
